happy birthday

Grandma Nimer!

I love how you sent me a text this morning that said "Happy Birthday to my birthday present."

I hate that you were in labor with me on your birthday and that your birthday has taken a backseat to my birthday every year.

I love that you are the best shopping companion ever.

I hate that I don't live closer to you.

I love that you kept Halle alive that first week she was born. Seriously I didn't know what to do without you.

I hate that you don't get to see Halle very much. But isn't it funny how much she loves you, despite the distance.

I love that you know all the new songs.

I hate that we don't get to sing in the car like we used to.

I love that I have an amazing example of what a mom should be like right in front of my face.

I hate that today on your birthday you can't be right in front of my face.

I love you, my mommy, more than you know.

I hope you have the best birthday.

We love you!
