"A year older, but the greatest gift isn’t the age…

It’s the title I earned this year: MOTHER!

This birthday hits differently because my heart now beats outside my body.

Before this year, birthdays were about me. Now, they’re a reminder of the little soul who made me a mom and changed my life forever.

I’m super grateful to the Almighty God for every lesson, sacrifice, laughter, and every moment that motherhood has brought into my life.

A title I’m most proud of and the blessing I’ll cherish forever.

@felixcrown I do not have the words to thank you for capturing this unforgettable moment of mine so beautifully."
