For a variety of annoying and stressful and unnecessary reasons, I missed this post for your birthday. I'll tell you about it one day, kid, and I hope I'll be able to laugh about it then. I wouldn't be surprised if you remember it. Suffice it to say that our world is a little bit chaotic right now. As always, you're a champ. I'm taking my cues from you this time.
I love you,
Mama
