Happy Birthday, Momma!

I know you hate birthdays because you think you are getting too old, but you make 41 look hot. I believe all birthdays should be celebrated, besides you only turn 41 once.

You are the world’s best mother and I know every daughter says that, but it’s true. You have always been my rock and sometimes the only person I can talk to.

Being away at college, I didn’t think I would miss you as much as I do. Whenever I have a rough day the only thing I want is one of your hugs. It’s hard not being able to come home to you after a long day.

I am extremely thankful for everything you do for me. You and dad work so hard to put me through college and I appreciate that so much.

I’m proud to be your daughter. You are such a hard worker not only at your job but also being a mother. Taking care of four kids cannot be easy but you do it with such grace.

Since I am the oldest, I know you think you screwed up sometimes while raising me. Well, yes you did, but obviously not that bad.

Seriously, you let me do anything I wanted from playing soccer to piano lessons.

You let me become my own person, even though I am still mad at you for letting me leave the house with bright purple eyeshadow on in middle school.

I am incredibly grateful to have a mother like you. You are my best friend when I need it, or you can be my hardest critic. You push me to do my best and I wouldn’t be busting my butt in college without you.

Thank you for being my shoulder to cry on, my confidant, and my protector.

I love you,

Your Fairy Paige
