"Being your mom is the reason I keep choosing strength. This past year has taught me how to mother in a new way, and somehow, you have carried me just as much as I have carried you. We have walked through grief, love, loss and becoming together. You have stretched my heart, calmed my fears, and taught me that family is not broken by loss, but held together by love. I am grateful beyond words to be your mom," she wrote.

Ratile further mentioned how their children have a cunning resemblance to their late father, who committed suicide last year, and that it warms her heart every time she sees them smile, reminding her of him:

"And even though you don’t really look like me at all 🤍, I smile every time I see traces of your dad in your smiles, your little habits, your quiet strength. I pray God covers you, protects you and orders your steps, and gives me the wisdom, patience and grace to be the parent you deserve."

She also thanked them for choosing her to be their mother, as they are her joy, healing and purpose.

"Thank you for choosing me every day. Thank you for being my joy, my healing, my purpose. Happy birthday, my loves. Mommy will always be your safe place," She said.
