Three years old. You should be three years old. Welcoming you into this world was the most miraculous thing I've ever been blessed to experience, and I'll always be thankful for the day you made me your mama. We spent today remembering and honouring you, and playing with your sister. She loved the metallic green balloon we got, which was exactly like the one you got on your first and only birthday. I made vanilla cake this year, even though I can only guess at what would have been your favourite kind of cake. I think you would have loved the cake, but I know you would love this life of ours. I know you would love your sister. And I know you would be the funniest, silliest, sweetest three-year-old there ever was. Happy birthday, buddy. We love you so.
