I don’t know how a dozen years have already passed since you were born. I was looking through hundreds of pictures to make this collage, and yes, there are definitely 12 years’ worth of memories, but it doesn’t feel like it. It feels like just yesterday we were welcoming you into our lives. You were an itty bitty thing, and now you are just a few inches shorter than me.

Like I said last year, we wish you as much joy as you bring to us, and we hope all your birthday wishes come true. We are so very proud of you, and love you more than you can even imagine.

“I’ll love you forever, I’ll like you for always,
As long as I’m living, my baby you’ll be.”

? Robert Munsch, Love You Forever

Happy 12th birthday, my sweet boy!
