My Sweet Makayla,

Happy 21st Birthday, my beautiful girl!

Today, I celebrate not just the incredible woman you are becoming, but the journey that brought us here — the tiny fingers I once held, the curious eyes that soaked in the world, and the heart that has always beat with so much love, compassion, and strength.

Watching you grow into yourself has been one of the greatest honors of my life. I’ve witnessed your triumphs, your determination and your quiet courage. You’ve become a woman who walks with purpose — and I couldn’t be more proud of you.

Turning 21 is more than just a milestone. It’s the doorway into a new chapter — a time when life offers both more freedom and more responsibility. You’ll make choices that shape your path, and while the road won’t always be smooth, I know without a doubt that you have everything inside of you to thrive.
Remember: your worth isn’t defined by achievements or others’ opinions, but by the love, integrity, and light you carry in your soul.

Always trust your intuition, lead with kindness, and know that you never have to face the world alone. No matter where life takes you, I will always be your biggest cheerleader, your safe space, and your forever home.

You are my heart walking outside of my body. And today, more than ever, I hope you feel celebrated, cherished, and deeply loved.

Cheers to you, my love. Here’s to 21 years of life, and to everything your beautiful future holds🫶🏽

Jeremiah 29:11 says, “For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you a future and a hope.”
Hold that close. God’s got you even on the days when it feels like everything’s falling apart. His grace will always go further than your mistakes, and His timing is better than your own.

Lean on Him. Talk to Him. And when in doubt? Just pause, pray, and call your mama. 🙏🏽

You are the best thing I’ve ever been a part of. I’m honored to be your mom and to witness your journey. Now go out there and live it fully, laugh loudly, love deeply — and please, for the love of all that’s holy, drink water between cocktails.

With all my love (and then some)
Mommy💕
