Because of you, Aleksie, these past 19 years as your mom have been the most remarkable. I gained true love, patience, kindness, courage, selflessness, and tons more because of you. I've learned from you constantly for the past 19 years, and im continuously mesmerized by the person you have become. You truly are my most favorite creation! Becoming your mother transformed me into the woman I am and continue to evolve into. You truly have defined my entire existence. Watching you live and thrive through all of life's beautiful and chaotic obstacles reasures me that I've raised a phenomenal young man. You'll never truly understand how much you mean to me. Im incredibly proud of you, Leksie! I love you tremendously, and i wish to make you just as proud 🤍 I hope you have an amazing birthday ✨️ cheers to 19 years!
This year leksie is spending his birthday day away from the family on his own for the very first time 🥺 you can imagine how emotional I am.
