*Happy 21st Birthday!** 🎉
I can't believe that almost 11 years ago, I looked at this 10-year-old kid and had absolutely no idea just how much you were going to mean to me. Now here you are — 21 years old — and I couldn't be more proud of the man you've become.
I've had the privilege of watching you grow through all of it. The awkward middle school years, the highs and the hard times, the moments that shaped you and the ones that tested you. Through every single phase, you showed up. You kept going. And you kept being *you* — and that has always been more than enough.
Watching you grow from that little 10-year-old into the young man standing in front of me today has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. I don't take a single moment of it for granted.
Know this — I love you to death. That has never wavered and it never will. No matter where life takes you, no matter what you're facing, I will *always* be in your corner. Always. You will never have to walk through anything alone as long as I'm breathing.
Today is YOUR day. Soak up every second of it. You've earned it, and so much more is still ahead of you.
Here's to 21 — and to everything that's coming for you. 🥂
With all my love, always. ❤️
