Don't blink β‘ Twenty years
Twenty years since I first held you in my arms, and somehow, in the blink of an eye, you're a man.
There are moments as a mom that you know will stay with you forever, the day you're born, your first steps, your first day of school, watching you find your own path. But nothing prepares you for the feeling of watching your baby boy turn 20.
Benny, you have taught me so much in this beautiful life. You've made me laugh until I cried, tested my patience, filled my heart with pride, and reminded me every single day what unconditional love truly means.
As life takes you in new directions, I hope you always know where home is. I hope you never forget how deeply you're loved, how fiercely you're prayed for, and how many people are always in your corner- its always you and I buddy β‘ Life won't always be easy, but you are stronger than you know, and I hope you never lose your gold heart that makes you who you are.
No matter where life takes you or how old you get, you will always be my little boy β‘
Happy 20th Birthday Benny!! Thank you for making me your mom. It's been the greatest privilege of my life, and I couldn't be more proud of the man you're becoming! You're my everything β‘
I love you forever - Mom β‘
