Every day was a day of miracles and wonders


You live your life gracefully.
What astounds me is your strength, your resilience, and your ability to comfort everyone around you.

You never complain.
You have never fought back against your hardships,
nor have you curled up and surrendered and let yourself be overcome.
You have taken each challenge and moved through it with dignity.

You have adjusted to this life.
You have acclimated yourself to surroundings and made it pleasant
for you and everyone who knows you.
You are everything I could have ever hoped you’d be.
There is nothing you could do to make me feel more proud of you.
If I have one wish left, it is that you will always know how much you are loved.
My love for you is limitless. It comes without shape or condition.
It is without barrier or constraint. It has no floors, no ceilings, no walls or in betweens.
It is the kind of love that surpasses infinity and wraps itself around time and space and distance,
as if it were an unstoppable force with which nothing could interfere.
You are my breath, my soul, my heartbeat.

I love you, my son.
