‘Happy birthday to you my sweet Angel….. I have always been so very proud of the young woman you grew up to be every step of your life time but watching you give birth and become a mother yourself has given ‘Proud’ a whole other meaning….

‘You are extraordinary!!! Thank you for giving me this greatest gift, I wasn’t sure how to get by without my mamma but loving Khai awoke a part in my heart I never knew existed,’ she wrote. 

And Bella continued to lay on the love as she wrote ‘it’s my besties bday,’ before sharing snippets of their close sister bond.
