Today Tamara Braun (Ava Vitali, Days of our Lives) turned 53 years old, and in recognition of the milestone, the actress broke her self-imposed social media break to reflect, and look forward to what the future may bring.
Tamara Braun Celebrates Her Birthday
“I’ve been MIA for the last month,” began Braun on Instagram alongside a snapshot of her from days gone by. “It’s been a lot of heavy life and death stuff. Two father figures left this Earth. I still can’t really talk about or discuss it. My heart breaks too much and I must stay the course.
“But, I found this photo at my father’s home. I remember my grandmother taking me to Sears to get this photo. The crossed legs. The hands. The uneven braids. I look at that little girl with her bright eyes and her smile and I am reminded what a strong little one she was amidst all that was going on around her at that time.
I am reminded that my brothers and sisters were also strong little ones and are now strong and loving big ones. I am so grateful for the love we have for one another and the healing that is happening for us through our loss. Today, on this day of my birth, I am reminded that life is for living, for smiling, for crying, for feeling all the feels and for learning and growing. It’s for sharing love and doing our best amidst the chaos. It’s for love. Love.
“Today I wish this little girl and the big one she has grown into a happy birthday. I’m glad she’s still here trying to figure things out and has the chance to share love with others. Happy birthday Tam Tam. Another trip around the sun. And thank you ALL for your kindness and the love you consistently share with me. I appreciate you.”
