on his 6th birthday:
I want you to know that you are so very special. You touch the heart of everyone you meet. You are confident, thoughtful and funny. You put others before yourself. Please continue to do this even when it is hard. Also treat yourself well.
I see parts of me in you. Like your desire to please others at the detriment of your happiness and even safety! I remember when you came home from school without your gloves one winter’s day. I asked about your gloves and you said you gave it to a boy who didn’t have a pair. “He was freezing, mummy!” you said with complete innocence in your eyes. I smiled at you although I really wanted to cry.
Be proud of who you are but respect others who are not like you. You are a beautiful boy and I hope that life treats you fine - that people love you as much as you love them.

Awww!! He’s so handsome! Happy Birthday!
He is, isn’t he? Thanks for stopping by, Sister!
This is soo touching, K!
