My oldest turned 28 today. We have spent the past four days in Chicago so we could spend time with her. It was so great, getting to see into her adult life and enjoy time together.

Janeesa, 28, and Jake, 12

She has a great job, a cute apartment, a funny cat, a loving boyfriend, and she is healthy, and most importantly, happy. I couldn’t be any more proud of her than I already am.

Happy 28th birthday, Janeesa! Your life is everything you always wanted, and I am so lucky I get to be your Mama! I love you!

PS. You are your Dad’s “mini-me”!!! LOL
