On my birthday, I celebrate my mother, Anne Perez, who carried me and birthed me on this day. She was the best inspiration a kid could have, supported me in everything I did and encouraged me to dream. She told me anything was possible. She said I was born under a lucky star and I’ve spent my whole life believing that and proving her right. I love you, Momma, we’ll meet again. Happy birthday to us.  Thank you for my life.
