So today is one of the most important out of the year because it is the day my mom was born. April 2nd, 19** (the date will remain hidden because she will forever remain my young and beautiful mother dearest). So opening this blog, I just want to say Happy Birthday Momma!!! I love you and miss you so much and look forward to being able to spend the next birthday (and many after) close to you. Where to even begin? I’ll start with explaining what this blog photo is. THIRTEEN years ago, I was given the assignment to write a story about my hero. And who else would be my hero over the one person who has done nothing but love and support me unconditionally throughout my entire life, my Betty Dunbar. Thirteen years later and my hero remains the same. What my mom means to me could not even be fully described or expressed through words. Thinking back to my younger days, I laugh because I know I was one difficult kid. And being 23, I’ve gone through as many lows as I have highs and no matter what the successes, or how many the fails, my mom has loved and been so proud of me all the same. In “My Hero” story, I wrote about how my mom cares for everyone before herself and has a huge heart. She’s still that same woman. She’s strong and independent and always finds a way through any and everything. I’m so blessed to be able to have someone like her in my life and I pray to God that when I have kids of my own, I will be able to be half the mother that she has been to me. Being countries apart right now, I hope you enjoy and accept this tribute as being part of your birthday gift (although my bank account appreciates this). So cheers to you mom and thank you for being the best a daughter could ever ask for. I love you and will see you soon! <3
PS: Someone please send my mom some tissues because she’s probably crying hysterically right now.
