To say I’m proud of you is an understatement.
You have gone through the loss of a father by age 13, 9 brain surgeries by the age of 16, left and lost many homes and friends, got tore down and rebuilt yourself over and over again. The scars on your head and the scars on your heart can’t contain your essence and your beauty.
I got to see you graduate from high school last night and celebrate you turning 18 years of age today. Zya Boyer, your a RAY of sunshine, forgiving, beautiful, tiny, gentle, God-fearing and so precious. Not because you’re my daughter, but because there’s only one of you and I love that you will never compare to any one else in this world.
I’m so honored God chose ME to be your mother. To be your guide. To be your friend. To be your Uber. To be your bank, lol. I couldn’t do this life without you, thank you for loving me, too. Even when I’m over bearing and make you mad. You’re the easiest person I’ve EVER met, and anyone who knows you would say the same.
Forgive me for making bad choices, for leading you down wrong roads, for not listening, for not seeing YOU at times. And yet we still can stand together, closer than ever, mommy and baby, best friends. You’re an official ADULT, aaagghhh!!! I love you. So so much. Cheers to the next chapter of your life, I can’t wait to see what God does with you!! Just keep holding on.
