Jack. On this day, I want to say only a couple of words. Really only two. Those words are “Thank you.”
Ok, I’ll say just a few more even though I know you’re probably thinking, Oh God, How long is this going to take.
Now while, I think this is probably the right place to ask God a question, I don’t think you’ll be disappointed with the answer. I’ll only take a minute.
I want to tell you “thank you” for being born.
Thank you for taking your first steps.
Thank you saying your first words, which if I remember correctly, you told a joke.
Thank you for being such a loving soul to me and your mom and your sister and the rest of your family.
I want to thank you for just being you.
You don’t have to do one more thing in your life to make me love you anymore than I love you right now which is exactly the same amount I loved you the day you were born.
Now while I’m exceptionally proud of your accomplishments and continue to marvel at some of the things you can do when you put your incredible mind to it,
my love for you is unwavering and absolute.
