Thank you.

Thank you for being our strength and our light. Thank you for shining bright and illuminating the darkness, taking our hands and guiding us, walking beside us, through this long, dark tunnel.

Even in the sunlight, in the safety and comfort of the day, thank you for making us sit back and sigh, thinking 'how wonderful to be here with you'.

For everything you've lost, you've given more back. For every wall you've found yourself up against, every structure seemingly too high to scale, you've climbed it ferociously and stood up at the top, looking down at how far you've come and looking up to see where the next goal lies.

For every setback, you've pushed back. For every dark moment, you've brought light - or perhaps found it.

Thank you for your light, your love, and your hope.

Thank you for your courage, your determination, and your strength.

Thank you for your vulnerability, too - for showing us that moments of weakness will surely become triumphs in the end.

Sweet angel boy. Happy birthday to you, our dearest star and warmest light of hope. May you have many more days of warm sunshine and cold ice rinks ahead. 💕
