Once Chris made sure he had all of his fingers and toes, Tony slid into our hearts and has grown into a fine young man.
Of course, he could of stopped growing after catching up to me, but he has always exceeded my expectations.
What if today, you could see yourself the way that we see you?
What if we could somehow take you back and show you for a moment,
the beautiful baby boy who won our hearts forever the first time we held
him in our arms.......
Or the mischievous toddler who never stopped for more than a minute,
so full of life and curiosity about the world around him?
What if we could somehow show you the kind and generous man we see standing before us
or any one of the countless, precious memories we keep in our hearts?
What if on your birthday you could see yourself the way that we see you?
Then you would always know, without a doubt, how much we have loved
watching you change and grow and become the kind of man
we always knew you would be.
Happy Birthday Son, We love you,
Mom and Dad
