“Mama, today it’s not only my birthday, it’s your birthday too. It’s the day you first gave birth.” - Alexia. Happy birthday to the little human that made me a mother for the first time 10 years ago today. Your smile 😊 lights up my world, your laugh makes my heart 💜 beat fast, and your deep thoughts like what you just told me keep me in awe of all that is you. There is so much to say about everything that is “your first.” The first time I held you, I knew that I wanted to do it all over again. A mother loves equally and unconditionally but there is something ultra special about the first person that gave me the most precious title I could ever have. Being your mom is my greatest joy and the lessons you’ve taught me in the past ten years are priceless. I love you! 💕😘❤️
