Brittany Packnett Instagram – to my miraculous two year old, It is the single greatest privilege of my life to know you. To watch you. To celebrate you. To laugh with you. To soothe you. To watch you discover yourself. To watch you know yourself. To watch you know your voice. To watch you exercise your agency and see God’s light in your eyes. I stand in absolute awe that you were sweet enough to choose me. That God loaned you to us. That you continue to show me what’s possible or beyond my wildest imagination. We are celebrating you today, the same day we lay your grand-Godfather to rest. He prayed for you daily. Every FaceTime he gave you the same beaming smile he always gave me. It made you feel invincible, didn’t it? I know. That’s what it did for me. I’m pretty sure Uncle Reggie and Grandpa Ronald are upstairs singing you happy birthday—the Stevie version, because that’s the one we sing, my baby—and they’re singing it off key, tears streaming, smiles beaming, turning to Jesus and telling Him thank you. “Time flies when you’re beating the odds.” From a four months NICU stay to a two year old, I have never been so honored to know a single soul as magnificent as you. Happy birthday to my sweetest pea. you’re the real mvp. I love you forever and ever, to the heavens and back. mommy ❤️
