Happy 13th Birthday! I am sitting here trying to comprehend how 13 years have already passed since you completed our family. I remember that day so well--we couldn't wait to meet "Baby Jack". Through the years you have brought so much joy to so many people. People just like you--you're kind and funny and fun to be around. I love that you appreciate things, both big and small. I don't think a day goes by when you don't thank me for something, even if it's just washing and folding your clothes. You get excited over little things--like when I bring you a snack when I pick you up, or fix your favorite meal for dinner. You aren't afraid to show you care, and I love that about you. I love that you tell me you love me at least once a day--there is nothing I'd rather hear. You are growing into such an amazing young man, and I am so proud to call you my son. I hope this next year is filled with all kinds of love, laughter and good memories.
I love you big bunches,
Mom
