1. Your generosity is genuine. Even when YOUR pockets are unable to provide enough you still want to share. 2. You are SO. VERY. forgiving. 3. You are the sun and moon to your little brother. 4. Your gypsy heart is just my favorite. You love going anywhere and are just so easy to travel with. 5. You are very family oriented. You know how special those bonds are. 6. You are mature. The research and calls and everything you did to get a snake or the cello was simply beyond your years. 7. You ground me. You also are the one who can send me through the roof but you can also calm me like no other. 8. You will try anything. You do NOT stick to things but you’ll try them. Maybe that’s half the battle?? 9. You support me and you are proud of me and you make me feel like what I am doing is right. This is in so many different avenues.

Coley, I am so happy we got to spend some time “just us” for your birthday but also were able to celebrate with more people who love you too. You have such a a strong support system and you are that strength to many too .

We have things to work on, bud, but we will keep trying. Sometimes your maturity is also your weakness. You are my love and it’s been the best 9 years. Happiest birthday to you. 💙🤍
