Aline Golan Moved to Tears by Mother's Birthday Message

Young Israeli singer Aline Golan, celebrating her 20th birthday, shared an emotional message from her mother, Ilanit Levi, on Instagram, which brought her to tears. Golan posted a picture of herself crying, expressing her deep admiration for her mother, stating, "Everything is her and everything is hers. May God grant me to be one-hundredth of this woman." She added, "You are the proof that God exists."

Levi's birthday message to her daughter, which garnered tens of thousands of likes, reflected on their bond over the past two decades. "Every year I sit down to write you a blessing and think to myself, what is left for me to say that I haven't already said?" Levi wrote. "How many times can one write to their child that they are the greatest gift you have received? And then I start writing and realize, I never run out of words for you. Because every year you are a little different and my love for you gains another depth I didn't even know existed."

Levi also acknowledged Golan's role in her own growth, saying, "At your age of 20, I understand something I may not have told you enough: while I was raising you, you were raising me. You taught me who I am. Before all the wishes, I simply want to say thank you for you. Thank you for 20 years in which my heart has been walking the world outside my body, within you. I used to hold your hand so you wouldn't fall. Today I am learning to let it go so you can fly."

The message concluded with Levi's assurance of unwavering support: "If you forget how strong you are, I will remind you. If you forget how worthy you are, I will remind you. And if the world makes you doubt yourself for a moment, come to me, I will remind you who you are. I loved you even before I knew what your voice would sound like, what your smile would look like, who you would be and what you would do in life. I loved you simply because you were you. And today, after 20 years, I can tell you that reality has exceeded any dream I could have dreamed. Happy 20th birthday, my child. Thank you for coming into the world."

The post resonated widely on social media, with many users expressing their emotions and sending birthday wishes to Golan. Comments included sentiments like "I have no words, I choked up," "You made me cry," and praise for Levi's writing, with one user calling her blessing "the most beautiful in the world."
