On my birthday, I celebrate the woman who made it all possible

Mummy my love,
Today I celebrate the happiest day of your life, my birth.
The weeks leading up to it were charged with emotions! I simply could not bear the thought or fathom going through the day that inextricaly brought us together, without you. You always rushed to be the first to wish it to me, to share our hopes and dreams for me and shower me with blessings-Last year's still ring through my ears. You were sorely missed today, but i made it a good and joyous one. You were never far from my thoughts but for you I stood strong and content because I know it is how you want it to be.
I know you got me through this day, it had to be you and the almighty responding to my cries for help and strength, and for that and so much more, I thank you once again. It was a first in a series of first instances without you, but I know you will continue to carry me through and will walk with me all the days ahead, urging me to pursue every single one of those dreams you had for me. And so I thank you in advance and I march ahead, confident that you are by my side always, and watching over me, proding, guiding, loving me always. I love you and miss you so much!
Your loving daughter
