My love for you is permanent. Happy, happy birthday, .aron. 💜

“And remember this: the imperial need for control is so desperate because it is so unnatural. Tyranny requires constant effort. It breaks, it leaks. Authority is brittle.
Oppression is the mask of fear. Remember that. And know this: the day will come when all of these skirmishes and battles, these moments of defiance will have flooded the banks of the Empire’s authority and then there will be one too many. One single thing will break the siege. Remember this: Try.”

I couldn’t imagine a better mother for our daughter and I’m so glad and grateful that I never will. I love you always.
