Of course, I am just now getting around to writing your birthday letter. Eleven months late is better than never. Right? This year has been a busy one. But there’s no one else I’d rather make memories with than you.

It’s amazing how far you have came on this journey called life. You have overcame so much over the years, and I am super proud of all of your accomplishments.

I know if I ever need a helping hand all I have to do is say your name, and you are right beside me. You are literally one of the hardest workers I have ever met. The strength you have at eleven years old is more than I’ve ever had in my 44 years. Saddling horses, carrying 50 pound feed bags, or moving lumber around is nothing for you.

I love to watch you ride horses and work on the farm, but most of all, I love that we get to teach classes together at the stables. I couldn’t accomplish it all without your servant’s heart. Thank you so much, sweet girl.

I will love you forever and always.

Love,

Mom
