eh
urgh
But since TODAY is the official anniversary of the day she was born, I’d like to erase the ho-hum comments and replace with a few
and enthusiastically shout,
because a ! BIG DEAL ! it most certainly ! is !
And as you mosey about your 24, dear daughter, as those FaceTimes and phone calls and texts from your favorite peeps roll in, reminding you ! Hey ! ! It’s your birthday ! !
As you enjoy the cake, presents, happy cheers and smiles dashing in and out and around with delightful exuberance because ! ! YaY ! ! IT’S YOUR BIRTHDAY ! !
I hope you realize what this day
means to those who love you most
&
!! It’s your birthday !!
!! Enjoy !! Every !! Minute !!
🙂
