Today my miracle baby turns 36. ❤️
Having you, and seeing you grow up was a blessing I never imagined could be surpassed. But watching you as an adult become an incredible first responder, a devoted husband, a loving father, and, above all, an extraordinary human being has been one of my life's greatest joys.
Life has not always been easy, and your work asks so much of you. Yet, through every challenge, you continue to choose kindness, compassion, perseverance, and love. You work tirelessly for the people you love, and the beautiful family you and your amazing wife have built is a reflection of those same qualities.
One of the greatest gifts you have given us is your beautiful family. Being part of our grandchildren's daily lives has been an unexpected blessing. Their hugs, laughter, curiosity, and love fill our days with purpose and joy. They have been a source of healing and have helped keep me grounded through life's hardest moments. I will always be grateful for that gift.
Thank you for your patience with me, your gentle heart, and for making everyone around you feel safer, happier, and more loved. You truly make this world a better place simply by being in it.
Happy 36th Birthday, my baby. It is one of the greatest honors of my life to be your mom. I love you beyond words. ❤️
