— transcribed by hand, this morning —
My dearest Parents,
21 years, countless memories, and a lifetime of love.
Watching you grow together has taught me
more about love than words ever could.
Thank you for being my home, my strength,
and the two people I can always count on.
And I feel lucky to have grown up surrounded by the love you share.
Happy 21st Anniversary. I love you both. ❤️
with all of me,

— a private clause, in two parts —

“Twenty-one years of choosing each other, growing together, and turning ordinary moments into memories worth keeping. Through every chapter, you have built something that is truly your own — a life filled with love, laughter, family, and countless stories to tell. May the years ahead bring you more journeys to take, more mornings to wake up beside each other, more reasons to laugh, and more moments that make you look back and smile. Here’s to the love that began twenty-one years ago, to everything it has become, and to all the beautiful chapters still waiting to be written.”
