I love that other people can see your heart.

I love your singing voice, (where did that come from?)

I love your patience with your siblings.

I love how you love Jesus.

I love when you sing me songs on your guitar.

I love that you can now do grocery runs for me.

I love how you worry about me being able to handle your upcoming college journey.

I love how brave you are among your peers when standing for whats right.

I love our shared love of sushi.

I love how you seem to see a person’s heart before you see the person.

I love the shared cheer moments at your football games.

I love how you can take my boring projects and turn them into masterpieces. (how do u do it?)

I love our ” I’ve had a bad day” ice cream shoppette trips.

To my 26 year old Tori:

I love how your love of Jesus has only gotten richer and deeper over time.

I love how your love of people has made you bolder to speak in love for what is right and Just.

I love how you still care for your siblings and watch out for them, even in the midst of raising your own tribe.

I love that you are STILL turning my creative ideas into masterpieces.

I love that in 10 years you have only gotten better and the girl you were at 16 created the wife, momma and woman of God you are now.

I love how you love.

I can’t wait to see what God has in the next 10 years.
