Buddy, you're so very special to me. I hope you always know that and believe it. You are a gift to me that is undeserved and I treasure everything about you.
I pray that through this next year, God will mold and refine your strength and your courage. You have a heart for truth and justice and I know that God will be faithful in surrounding you as you grow and mature. He will arm you, protect you and guard you. He will shelter you and fight for you. I pray that through it all, your trust in God deepens and tethers you to his heart.
Happy Birthday, Buddy! I love you so, SO much.
