Happy Birthday to my sweet Sadie!

Here are a few loving notes I found to let you know how much you are loved—if you don’t know already…..

“There are a million things I still want to teach you, but you somehow end up teaching me even more.

You show me what strength looks like, what softness feels like, and what real love truly is. You turned my life into something brighter just by being in it.

I tell you, 'I love you,' at least a hundred times a day, but the truth is that sentence will never be enough. My love for you lives in the quiet moments, the loud ones, the difficult ones, the beautiful ones. My love grows with you, walks with you, and stays with you always.'

“Sweetheart, I know I drive you crazy sometimes. I ask too many questions, remind you of things more than once or twice or three times!, and yes, I worry more than I probably should. But through it all, remember this: God gave you a mother who will always be your loudest cheerleader— whether you're sure of your path or still figuring it out. I'll be there faster than anyone else, closer than close, steadier than the ground beneath your feet. I may nag or overthink, but it is only because I love you with everything I have.

My love runs deeper than words can say, and I thank God every single day for the privilege of being your mom. I pray He surrounds you with His wisdom, leads you with His grace, and covers you with His peace in every step you take.

My sweet girl, know this: you are always covered in love and always wrapped in prayer. And always, always my sweet daughter.”

And like I would always say to Mom and Dad, 'You only think you know how much I love you.' Happy Birthday, Sweetheart! Love you more, Mom.
