Alongside an AI image of her as an adult hugging her child self, Anna wrote: “2025… you’re a d*** head!
“And not even a quiet one — a loud, chaotic, plot-twist-every-five-minutes kind of d*** head.”
She went on to say: “The hardest year of my life — I won’t sugarcoat it, I won’t pretend otherwise — but somehow, love still climbed in through the window.
“Celebrating Ava’s birthday this week reminded me that kids are sunshine in human form, even when us “grown” ups are lost in the dark without a light.”
