One Year Ago…

One year ago, I held you in my arms for the first time. And though the moment was brief, you captured my heart and soul. It was a day of fear, pain and weakness, but also of joy, triumph and happiness.

Since then, I’ve watched you discover the world, satisfying your curiosity and learning as much as you can. Every single person you meet falls instantly under your spell. You are the most charming, happy boy on the planet.

I can’t wait to see what kind of man you will become. But don’t hurry or anything. I’m happy to keep you just the way you are.
