How are you 14 🖤🖤

And just like that… I blinked, and my baby is 14.

How did we get here so fast? Weren’t you just learning to walk, saying your first words, and needing me for everything? Now you’re taller than me, funnier than me, and becoming this incredible young human I’m so proud to know.

Happy 14th Birthday, my heart. I love watching you grow—just maybe slow down a tiny bit.

Love,

Mom
