It was this time, 7 years ago that I lay exhausted on a hospital, gazing at my first child. My baby boy. It was the longest and most difficult night of my life, but at the end of it, I receive the most wonderful gift.

My cheeky, inquisitive, affectionate boy. From the moment you were born, we have argued and challenged each other, yet I wouldn’t have it any other way.

Your constant questions and chatter, do drive me bananas sometimes, yet when you’re not here, I miss you.

I hope you have the most wonderful birthday little man. You changed my life when you were born, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.
