"I had so many brilliant and funny things prepared for you for this message that were just going to slay, but you know girl, I'm just too tired," said the beloved actress, who marked her own 60th trip around the sun on July 26.
“I'm tired because I had to make my way up that mountain before you got there so I could check out the terrain and see what things look like, and just get the feel so I can fill you in,” she continued. “And it's weird because people seem to want us to be afraid of what it might look like when we get there.”

"Turns out it's pretty damn great," she quipped. "It's pretty awesome."
The Blind Side star went on to praise the mother-of-two for being “incredible” to so many people and commended her ability to navigate life with kindness.
"What you do for a living and how you have to shape-shift every single day, how you navigate your kindness, even when that's not what's coming your way," she said. "How you are to those you care about and how you keep them safe, and just who you are as a human being. We're all pretty lucky to have you, especially your kids."

"I feel very grateful. And I have your bar set up, up here, so we can look at the view. It’s pretty beautiful, but I need you up here. Happy birthday," she concluded.
The Oscar-winning actress and mother to Louis, 14, and Laila, 11, celebrated her own milestone birthday after a tough period in her life. Her partner of eight years, Bryan Randall, passed away last year following a three-year battle with ALS.
