kaitmpayne:

I tend to forget that she’s been there all along. Every time I fell apart, every time I sacrificed just a little bit more of myself, every time she was there as I tried to put back the pieces of our life. For four years she’s been my partner in crime, the only piece of the jigsaw that was relevant. She was there when everyone was judging me, her smiley happy self. She was there at my wedding and she was right beside me as we celebrated birthdays alone. Maybe she’s been too young for an opinion all along, but her lack of one means everything. Her unconditional love is the only reason I am who I am today. 

Happy Birthday, Scarlet. I hope one day you’ll realize exactly what it is you mean to me. You’re everything. 

Even by Internet standards, Kait’s unflinching honesty is something to be admired. She, her husband Gabe and daughter Scarlet don’t just give me hope that love alone can sustain you through both the good and bad times, they’ve proved it. And they continue to every day.

Happy birthday, Scarlet. Thanks for helping raise two awesome parents.
