Today is nothing more important than my mother because today is her birthday and I want to say happy birthday, my dearest mom! As some of you see, this isn’t a usual article because it is not a personal letter from me to my mother, which is the most important in the world or universe to me. Every year, celebrating my mother’s birthday is extraordinary; she is still young even though she would deny that, but it is, and she continues to be beautiful as ever. My mom is my entire life; she has done so much for me more than anyone can ever imagine, and it would take a lifetime to give my thanks to my mom because it is countless. She is more than everything; besides being the best mom in the universe, she is also my best friend in the universe. God blessed me her being my mother, she is the best person that God has chosen to be my mother, and I am very blessed to be her son although I am only a child, which is good because so I won’t have to share her with anyone (haha!). My mom and I have done so much together, we have gone through so much together, and we will continue doing that for many more years ago whether they would be good or bad. Still, it is important that we both do it together because with her being by my side, we have already come out more than ok thanks to the mother and best friend in her.
She was 24 years old when she met me; I am very privileged to know her and being with her for 34 years now—looking forward to many more decades of being with her, getting to know her more, and enjoying being part of her journey. Today, she has just turned 40 years old, talking about me knowing her enough not to say her age (haha), and if you are a math whiz, you will figure it out by reading this paragraph! Yes, even though she remains young, her wisdom has grown tremendously, and I always appreciate having her wisdom from time to time because they are what get me through. She is truly an ageless person who deserves more than everything even though she would think otherwise, but she does. She always is for everyone, including me before herself, speaking loudly of her golden heart. Besides being the best mother and best friend in the universe, she is one of many. She deserves more than a world at her feet. Only if it were possible, I would go to the moon and bring the moon to her to show her how much I love her because I love her to the moon and back to the moon!
Again, my mom is my world, universe, and everything. Yes, I am a momma boy, and I am very proud to say that because if someone isn’t proud to say that they are momma boy, then it means they have no special bond that me and my mom both have! No one can ever compare who she is; she is past everyone, more than everything. In this cruel world, she makes my surrounding a better place, and she always has been there for me. She always makes sure that I have everything I need in this life, making sure that my life isn’t unbearable and harsh. She truly has no idea how I am so thankful because it is unmeasurable. If anyone has ever had an idea of how much she has done for me, it is only a kilometer that they know because she has done more than nautical miles and beyond for me! It is truly endless, and my thanks for her is eternal. She is truly special, and she is only my special! She has done so much for me; I can only hope that I did at least enough to make her happy because all she deserves is a world of happiness.
Speaking of happiness, my dearest mom and my best friend. I wish you a very happy 59th birthday, I mean 40th, and you are my everything. I hope you have a good birthday today; you deserve more than everything this life can offer you. You always will have the whole of my heart, and no one will ever take that away from you. You are the most important to me, and you are my north. No matter what, I always want to make you happy through everything because your happiness is of the utmost importance. I know sometimes I failed at that, sometimes I succeeded, but it is no different from every other son or daughter with their mothers. If I only could, I would go to the moon and back just to make you happy, even if it is a little. I know you say that I always make you happy, but you say that because you are a mother. That is why you are exceptional; I am just very fortunate and blessed by God to have you as my mother – not someone else. I love you to the moon, back to the moon to heaven and beyond! Very Happy Birthday, Mom (Brenda, for those who wonder what her name is).
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MOM! Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, dear mom, and happy birthday to you! Many, many, and many more!
From your son, Joshua Sullivan.
