Happy 21st birthday to my Maddi! šš
When you were about 4 or 5, we were watching my wedding video together and you asked, completely serious, āHow come I wasnāt there?ā š¤£ And that, my friends, was the birth of the āMaddi-isms.ā Anyone who knows you knows exactly what Iām talking about. To know you is to love you, Maddi!
You are kind, caring, and beautiful inside and out. You give your love unconditionally and never expect anything in return.
But the MOST impressive thing about you? You are the most responsible and resourceful person I know. Those are gifts no classroom can teach, and they will carry you so far in life. Honestly, sometimes I wonder how you came out of my womb! š
Your curiosity about the world, and your love of traveling and exploring other cultures, has given me a whole new perspective. You reminded me that life isnāt about the things we own. Itās about the experiences we share.
