happy birthday, lauren

Happy Birthday to my daughter, Lauren! From the shy, sweet little girl who stuck to me like glue, she has grown into a force in her business world. A few years ago, her sister lived in New York and she lived in Cincinnati. My daughters were both in a place in their lives where they wanted a change so they put their heads together and moved to Chicago. Fast forward a few years to 2024, Lauren became a mom. Shortly after the birth of her son, she learned that he was born with a hole in his heart and two months later her little guy had open heart surgery. What a way to start new motherhood but she handled it like a fierce warrior. It's has been a joy to watch her grow. My little girl with a big, big heart who fills the world with so much happiness.
