Andrea Barber Instagram – Today I turn 45. 🥳 Every year my mom takes a picture of me wearing the “birthday crown,” which is the same crown she wore the night she was crowned Prom Queen in high school – also coincidentally, the same night my dad proposed to her 60 years ago! 💍 This is my first birthday without her. Today I’m filled with gratitude for her, this tradition she started 45 years ago, and all of these priceless pictures. What a gift! The last thing she gave me was this crown. I promised her I would solder the parts that have come loose and keep it safe forever. 💞👑 Thanks, Mom. I miss you. 💫
