Happy Birthday to us! 🥳🎂
I’ve always joked that Jen got tired of me in the womb and kicked me out. We were born two months early — I was head first and she was feet first, so clearly she was already trying to keep me in line. 👣😂
The funny thing is… after 54 years, not much has changed.
Life has taken us down different roads. We’ve lived through different seasons, raised our families, built our own lives, and sometimes gone weeks without seeing each other. But no matter how much time passes, she is still one of my favorite people in the world.
She has been my first friend, my lifelong witness, my sounding board, my cheerleader and sometimes the gentle voice reminding me who I am when I forget.
There is a comfort that comes from having someone who has been there since the very beginning. Someone who knows your stories, your strengths, your quirks, your heart… and loves you anyway. 💜
I don’t get to see her nearly as often as I’d like, which makes today feel even more special. We get to spend our birthday together and that is a gift I don’t take for granted.
Happy Birthday, Jen.
Thank you for sharing this wild, beautiful life with me. I love you more than words can say. 🥰💜
