Happy 5th birthday to my twin! It's hard to believe you're already five years old. Being your mom fills me with immense pride; it's the greatest feeling in the world. You are the most affectionate, sweetest, silliest, and independent girl, and I love you deeply.
Aside from Chicago, I am also blessed with my daughter North and sons Saint and Psalm, whom I share with my ex-husband Kanye West.
