I have had such a blessed 27 years, and so much of that is owed to my mother. She is an AMAZING woman, and I am the luckiest son to be blessed with such wonderful parents. I remember her being there, taking care of me for all those broken bones starting from 11 months old (one of the facts you may not know), making my lunch every day for over a decade of school (and even bringing by food every time we saw each other in college!), and letting me go as I started the greatest adventure of my life, marrying the woman of my life! I thank God for your patience, even after breaking dozens of lights playing soccer, and for your willingness to raise me every day, regardless of how stubborn I was.

Happy Birthday Mum! I love you, & thank you for everything I have learned from you!
