Today was my 21 birthday. So if you forgot, I want to start this by saying it's okay. You see, someone inspired me to take my birthday off Facebook... and it's interesting.. I got a lot less of the pointless messages, and more of the ones that matter. Every text today was special, because it came from important people like you.
A whole 21 years of my life has gone by, and if you take that into consideration, or if you like the song 100 years ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tR-qQcNT_fY) then that's over 1/5 of my life gone.. and probably the best 1/5 of it. There has been heart break and more tears than I can count. But also memories that I will never forget and relationships that will never be broken.
so thank you. Thank you for every care and consideration you've place in my life the last 21 years. If you made me smile or laugh in the last 21 years thank you. I have had a beautiful 21 years because you're in it.
Every birthday I always stop to think about how my Mom was in labor with me all night before she found out I was breach. The doctor came in at 6am to tell her 'that's not a head that's a butt.' (it's okay i like the number 20 better than 19 anyways ;)) but really though, let's talk about some perseverance. That story has two things that have shaped my life forever: 1) my momma sure knows how to persevere. 2) I was born to flip.
So the second one is a little less important, but 21 years of full on support for a child sure does require a lot of perservernce. And my Mom has done nothing but allow me to persue the dreams that I have hoped and strived for all my life. So maybe my perseverance is a me thing, but I bet you a million that it's a her thing.
She doesn't quit when times get tough, and she doesn't quit no matter how badly they hurt, because she knows at the end of the day that the mountain top is so much greater than that climb.
So mom, thank you. thank you for everything you've given me. all that i've been able to accomplish. I'm sitting in my twin bed, in Sweden right now learning about supply chain with my international friends because YOU gave me every opportunity to be here.
I wouldn't be here without you.
love you love you love you more than you know
