15 incredible years of you—and what a journey it's been!
Your toys have gradually given way to clothes, shoes, and all those cool things you love now.
You're discovering who you are, and we're right here beside you, helping you every step of the way.
Teenage life is full of mixed emotions. Thinking about the future? Not yet! Right now, it's all about that birthday party with your friends this Friday. High school paperwork and big questions about your path and strengths feel overwhelming—I get it (sometimes we parents struggle to see them too, haha).
At 15, you've built a vibrant social circle with loyal friends. You have a strong character, a fierce sense of justice, zero tolerance for adult hypocrisy, a clear grasp of right and wrong, a craving for independence, yet a deep bond with family. And you're absolutely beautiful.
You keep surprising me, the mom you made me. That surprise birthday I organized? You never saw it coming. Seeing you Friday night, so touched among your friends, made my heart burst with pride.
Happy birthday, my love.
I'm so proud of who you're becoming. Life can be tough, but we're always here for you.
