Twenty-six years ago, I became a mother on American soil.

Kyle conceived in Japan, and unbeknownst to may husband and I immigrated to the land of the free in my womb.

This January 20th, I’m beyond grateful to celebrate my first born’s birthday as my home country welcomes President Joseph Biden.

I’m inspired to watch Vice President Kamala Harris as she becomes the first woman, first Black and Asian American vice president.

I’m encouraged by the 46th first lady, Dr. Jill Biden, as she redefines her role in this new administration.

I’m hopeful for this beautiful nation again.

Congratulations to the new President & Vice President of the United States of America!

Happy birthday, Kyle. I love you!
