my mom.

“Human beings are not born once and for all on the day their mothers give birth to them, 

but ... life obliges them over and over again to give birth to themselves.”
― Gabriel García Márquez

 I have never been more thankful for my mom as I have been this past year...

and as this new year is promising to bring a host of surprises and new adventures, 

I can imagine no other person I would rather turn to for advice than her. 

I don't know what I would do without her.

I love and admire her so much and can't wait for my baby girl to meet her.

Happy Birthday, Mom!
