Juju, this is 16!!!

You navigated sirens, bomb shelters, interrupted sleep, and international-level chaos and you still got your schoolwork done and kept moving like it was just another Tuesday.

You’ve shown what strength, courage, and character look like… with sleep deprivation and adrenaline mixed in.

Keep chasing the world with that fearless heart and “I’ll figure it out” energy.

Happy Birthday, A1. Counting down the days until I can lay eyes on you again

Happy 17th bday JRD. What a magical 12 months you had experiencing more countries than I can count on two hands. This past year you have become the Dakoff master griller, a Michelin foodie, any country’s translator, everyone’s IT consultant, Juju’s chauffeur, chief navigator, my favorite fresh market shopping partner and the family travel agent. You are always ready to sit and have coffee with me while playing NYT games. Xoxox

Happy 19th Birthday Jordan! I’m exhausted thinking about all that you have done in the past year. Your drive to make the world a better place inspires me. I Could not be prouder of the human you are. Keep lighting a fire under me to keep running along side you.

We are lucky if we get 80 summers in our lifetime. I never get tired of reflecting on my 100 days of summer. We soaked in everything summer 2024 had to offer. Thank you…we lived it.
