20 years ago, when I learned about you, your life was labeled by the world as a genetic mistake, occurring at a ratio of 1 in every 600 newborns. To me, your life has always been the most amazing gift. 

To me, you are 1 out of 1 because you are the only and most amazing son I could have ever asked for. You are the light, the strength, and the reason behind everything I am and was destined to be in this life.

You came to turn my work into a career of love and commitment in an attempt to give you everything that you deserve. You brought with you the most incredible ability to rescue the best of me. You have healed me in so many ways, and in the dark, when I feel that I am not enough, God reminds me through you that I am more than enough for you and that your love and faith in me will forever make me worth it, regardless of my mistakes and the deep wounds that I carry in my soul.

It’s been two decades of loving you as I never imagined I would be able to love anyone ever. It’s been 20 years of growing together and learning from each other. Thank you for blessing me with your love. Thank you for being the peace and the smile in the worst storms. I love you with all my heart and my soul. I love you forever and ever.
