In celebration of her 49th birthday on Friday, theReal Housewives of Atlantastar dedicated a lovingtributeto 14-month-oldBrooklyn, whom Moore said has been a “light in my life” amid her split from husband Marc Daly.
“God brought this Angel into my world who is the miracle known as Brooklyn and everyday is my birthday. How did she get here? Why did she choose me? She knew I needed her far more than she needed me,” the Bravo star wrote alongside the mother-daughter snap.
“You are my life Brooklyn, my happiness, my joy, and the unconditional love I waited my whole life for. You have my grandmother’s spirit. She left me so I could have you,” said Moore. “I live my whole life for you. You are everything that is good in me and you inspire me to be better everyday. You are my legacy.”
Moore said she has only one birthday wish.

Moore and Dalywed in “a romantic” and intimate St. Lucia ceremony in June 2017, and immediately got to work at starting a family. (“We both want to start a family and soon — like, right away,” she told PEOPLE at the time, “We both want a child.”) More than a year later, they welcomed their daughter in the fall of 2018.
But the couple hit a rough patch and after two years of marriage announced their separation on Sept. 19, 2018 inexclusive statements to PEOPLE.
Said Daly: “I have come to the difficult decision to separate from Kenya at this time. Our daughter has two parents that love her very much and in her best interests, this situation should remain as private as possible. I cherish our family’s good times together and will continue to co-parent in a loving way. Rumors, innuendo or false accusations only serve to hurt our family and will be addressed through counsel as the law permits. Please respect our privacy during this challenging period.”

Since then, the couple has been amicably co-parenting Brooklyn, comingtogether in November to celebrate her 1st birthday.
Days before that, Moore told PEOPLE that she’s hopeful she and Daly can find a way back together if they can work through their communication issues.
“I didn’t get married to quit,”she said. “I love my husband. I don’t doubt that he loves me. Let me be clear, I took my vows seriously. I believe in for better and for worse and I believe in trying it all before you walk away, especially when we do have a child and we are a family.”
