This is 11 🎈
You don’t have Instagram, and knowing how anti-social-media you are, I don’t know if you ever will. You also hate taking pictures, so documenting your existence is basically a full-time job. 😂
But maybe one day you’ll find these posts and they’ll be a little time capsule, a chance to see yourself through my eyes and know how deeply you were loved at every age. 💕
You are so completely you. Quiet, but noticing EVERYTHING. You have a heart of gold and are always the first to defend the underdog. You love sunsets and sunrises, artsy things, Roblox and video games. You somehow know random facts about everything, learn random languages just for the fun of it, and can tell me all about insects despite the fact that you would absolutely lose your mind if one actually came near you. 😂
And then there’s your music taste. Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails, Evanescence. Basically my teenage playlist somehow ended up inside my child and I’m not mad about it.
You’re my baby, my built-in bestie, my personal comedian, and the person who can humble me faster than anyone alive. 😂
Never lose your kindness, your curiosity, your quirkiness, or that quiet way you see the world.
Watching you become who you are is one of the greatest privileges of my life.
Happy birthday, Mila. No matter how big you get, you’ll always be my baby girl. And if you read this years from now, just know I loved every single version of you. ❤️
