Happy Birthday, the Big Three, oh...!

Dear Nicky,

Happy Birthday to the greatest little boy in the world! You're now three years old! We technically had a little party for you yesterday, but today is the big day. How far you've come and how much you've been through in such a short time. In your few years with us you've taught us so much about love and courage and dedication and family. Sure, you came as a surprise with some of your issues, but we can face any challenge as long as we do it together. You're a precious gift of a son, Nick, and never think otherwise. In other news, you also started your first day of preschool today. While your bus ride was a little longer than we'd like, and we're working on that, once there you did just great, just like we knew you would.

Love,
Dad
