Dear Mom,
There will never be enough words in this universe to express how much I love you, how proud I am of you and how grateful I am for however the stars, moon, and energy aligned gave me you to call Mommy. You literally have defied the odds, tricked statistics and have stayed true to yourself... shaking your hips, tongue out with your middle fingers up. (If you know Suzie at any point during this lifetime you know how true this is).
.
You taught me to love, have compassion, be patient, embrace my uniqueness, stand my ground, never give up and to have an open heart free of judgement. People gravitate to you and of course they would, your hugs are the best, you create a safe space and duhhhh your cooking heals all wounds (even those you can't see).
.
I want to wish you a historic Birthday (12/4), we weren't suppose to have you this long and thankfully your stubbornness to fight against Lupus and all its wickedness is more firey than ever. Your life hasn't been all that easy, many road blocks, loses and darkness. You have never waivered from optimism and making those around you feel like hope and light are just around the corner. Happy 62 my hero, my confidant, my teacher, my home, my heart, my Mommy! .
You make this world a better place! Keep shining, I love you to the moon and back again. Enough always!
Your first born,
Boo
