Céline dion: “Mom,

“You gave me life, my first song, and, with Dad, you passed on to me the love of music that still inspires me today. But above all, you passed on to me the values that guide me every day: family, humility, and the importance of staying true to oneself.

“I think of you always, but especially today, and I realize how lucky I am to be your daughter.

“Happy birthday!  I love you.”
