Years of
Love & Adventure

Mae — you are the first person I ever loved. As your eldest daughter I have had the longest time to watch you, to learn from you, and to be in awe of you. You showed me what it means to hold a family together with grace and never ask for anything in return. Every country we visited, every table we shared, every sunset we sat together and watched — I carry them all with me always. Thank you for being my mother. Happy 84th Birthday. I love you beyond all words.

Wasana Sitti-issara Your eldest daughter — A 🌸

Mae, as your first son I always tried to make you proud. But watching you travel the world — standing before Mount Fuji, laughing in the Greek islands, dancing with joy wherever you went — I realised you were never someone who needed protecting. You were the strong one all along. You taught me more about courage and living fully than any place I have ever been. I am so proud and so grateful to call you my mother. Happy 84th Birthday, Mae.

Mae, growing up with you as my mother meant growing up believing the world was a beautiful, welcoming place — because you always made it feel that way. You were the warmth in every room, the laughter at every table, and the reason every trip became a treasured memory. Watching you explore the world with wonder in your eyes no matter where we went has been one of the greatest gifts of my life. I love you with all my heart. Happy 84th Birthday, Mae.

Ariya Akthakul Your son — John ❄️

Mae — as your youngest, I have always felt the most loved, the most spoiled, and the most blessed. You never let any of us feel anything less than cherished. I have watched you dance with joy, climb mountains with energy younger people envy, and smile at strangers in countries halfway around the world as if they were old friends. You are 84 years old and still the most alive person in every room you walk into. Thank you, Mae. For everything. I love you.
