My darling boy you will never know how you have changed my life. Not only in the obvious ways of little sleep and dirty nappies. Of no longer being able to socialize at the drop of a hat, but also no longer wanting to. Of not being able to day nap and read all night. But in ways far more profound. You have changed the very essence of who I am. Or perhaps you have just shown me, in no uncertain terms, what actually matters in this life.

You have changed how I see my friends. I am now more grateful than ever for those hearts that hold us up when we need it most. You have made me realize that I never needed to be everything to everybody, that those that love us, do so unconditionally, and that friendship is one of the purest forms of love.

Mommy – I am sorry I never realized just how much we will always be a part of you, and that worry (and often irrational fear) come with the territory.

Thank you for balancing me. For making me better. Thank you for choosing me. I promise I will do everything I can to make you proud. To keep you safe. And to show you just how great this life can be.
My wish for you is that you are always surrounded by love. That your life is an adventure and that you find a way in each day to make a difference.
May you be kind. Curious. A man of your word. May you stand for what you believe in, no matter how hard it may be.

May you live long and surround yourself with good people. May you find a love like the love I share with your daddy. And may you treat her like a queen.
Be kind to everyone. Especially those who are unkind to you. Be kind to animals and treat the earth well. Share your time with people who challenge you to be better. Never stop learning and always remain humble.
I know you are going to change the world. Like I said – you have already

I love you with a deep, unexplainable tide that is greater than the ocean. More gigantic than all the galaxies and deeper than the centre of the earth. You are truly mighty. And magical beyond words.
Yours forever,
