24
I believe in a hug and kiss at the end of every text message.
I believe in pink.
I believe that high heels make everything OK.
I believe in hugs. Lots and lots of hugs.
I believe in playing a song over and over too many times just to learn the lyrics.
I believe in being strong. In seeing through tears when it seems things can't get any worse.
I believe that girls who are themselves are the prettiest.
I believe love absolutely exists in its purest forms.
I believe that the best of yet to come.
I believe in laughter. In laughing at yourself.
I believe those who take photos of themselves have more fun. And the pictures to prove it.
I believe in blowing out the candles on your birthday cake, every.single.year.
Happy Birthday to me!
And just in case I forget what it takes to laugh at myself, here I am in my 24-year-old glory.

Awww...happy happy birthday beautiful!
24 years ago, on a washed out long weekend I was the only 20 something year old who did not go camping for the holiday weekend. After all , I was about to give birth to my first child.As the thunder rolled and the sky grew darker, I felt water run down my leg... "Oh no" , I thought, now what? I decided it was time to go to sleep. After all, when things get scary bed always seemed like a safe refuge! My pains worsened and the realization that bed was not going to take away my stomach ache settled in like a scary hospital visit. It was time to make one, speaking of hospital visits. Arriving in a horrible storm at McMaster Hospital and feeling anything but excited, my journey into the reality of active labour was well on it's way.Wondering how much worse the pain would get and how many more hours would pass on the clock wall made the whole experience seem to go on for infinity...12 hours later I heard, "it's a girl" She has all her toes and fingers , she weighs 6lbs7ounces, and has a beautiful head of hair!!No long weekend storm could take away the sunshine I felt.Here at last was my own little bundle of happiness. Somebody who needed me and I needed just as much.Days turn into months, months to years. Always a happy baby, rarely a cranky toddler, never a miserable kid.Teenage hood ran smoothly. You always tried to please. You always did your best.What ever you pursued, you gave it your all. From academics, to gymnastics, you finished what you started and even broke school records and achieved honour roll standings.Now school is over, gymnastics is a thing of the past and you are soon to be a bride.... wow, where did time go?They say life goes quickly when life is good. It feels like being your mom has been but a minute.You have brought our family such joy, pride,excitement, and friendship.I know this much is true, after every storm there is a rainbow. You are mine. Happy 24th birthday cat! with love from mom and dad.xoxo
Happy happy birthday - wow just 24 - you have a wise soul...
And what your Mum wrote - that made me cry! Again. I must get a grip.
Have a lovely day sweetpea... Louise x

Hi babydoll, Happy Happy HAPPY 24th Birthday! As I told you last night I know this year is going to be absolutely fabulous for you full of new beginnings and the start of happily ever after! How cool that you'll always remember you were 24 on your wedding anniversary of September 24! :)
Your mother once again has me floored with her gorgeous message to you! The apple certainly didn't fall far from the tree that is for sure. You must love being so close in age as well, my mom and I are 22 years apart and she is without a doubt my best friend.
I wish you a day full of all happy things and wish I could give you a big birthday hug and kiss in person! So glad fiance is coming into town soon - you two celebrate all weekend and ENJOY! Love you!

Happy birthday to you!
I like your idea of candles on the cake even as an adult though I do have to admit it may take me several breaths of air to get all of the fire extinguished.

Rhi,
Ugh I feel terrible, I made note of your birth date weeks ago and had every intention of wishing you well. So (belated) Happy Birthday my dear!
I'm following you now, b/c missing your birthday is bad enough but I wouldn't miss your wedding for anything! Plus perhaps you could use more testosterone amongst your followers. ;)
Stay Gorgeous!
