You are nine.
Nine.
Nine years ago our family was born.
Your dark brown eyes opened.
Your brow furrowed.
Our lives changed.
Every day for nine years you have changed our lives…
with Ryan force.
Determined.
Passionate.
Steadfast.
There is no gray. There is no sneaking by. There is no making do.
You hold the world accountable.
And it will listen.
or else.
Happy Birthday Ryan!
Thanks for changing my life.

What a gorgeous birthday gift for your son. Print it and put it in his scrapbook.
What an amazing sweet post.
My son is 12 yrs old and sometimes I just stare at his beautiful face and wonder how we have all made it to this point. What a darling you have.
