The blessing of a daughter......
25 years ago, I was sitting on the couch knowing that in a few hours my life was about to change forever. But of course I really had no idea how.
I had zero idea what this profound journey would be like. Every step of the way, every stage from bringing you home from the hospital, a pink bundle of pure joy, every milestone, every show, every accomplishment, every challenge, adventure, with so many phases and so many experiences, has been the most miraculous journey I could have ever prayed and hoped for. As you get older it gets better and better. I truly adore all of the time we spend together whether we are walking on the beach drinking iced almond milk coffee or in our best clothing and bling at some fabulous event. Gabby, you are kind, thoughtful, soulful, poised, talented in SO many ways, generous, gracious, wise, driven, determined, adorable and I could not be prouder to be your mother. Thank you for everything that you are to me, to us, and everyone that you choose to include in your orbit. To quote one of our most favorite songs, “who can say if I’ve been changed for the better.?.... I do believe I have been changed for the better, because of you .. I have been changed for good.
SO much of me is what I have learned from you........ You are truly an inspiration to me Gabrielle. Happy 25th Birthday my beautiful girl. Let the celebrations begin.🦋🌸💗
