Bertrand turns 5

Another year. Another emotional birthday.

Yesterday was Bertrand's birthday party, and it was by far his most favorite party ever. He stayed awake, interactive, and happy the entire time. :)

Today, on Bertrand's actual birthday, we all recovered from said party (with lots of snuggling), and reflected on our amazing little boy.

We will never take the time we have with him for granted.

A photo from yesterday's celebration--Bertrand's favorite birthday party!
When you were born, I joked that I loved you so much that I didn't care in which field you got your Ph.D.

I had no idea that by 5 years old, someone would end up getting their Ph.D. in you.

You've led many on a journey through extremes in the human experience.

Today, I'm grateful that you're still here to lead.

May it always be so.

Happy birthday! :)

  2. It is so touching and encouraging. The spirits of your family do motivate me to work much harder on Betrand's disease.
    Happy Birthday, Betrand. You are the warrior!
    p.s. My birthday is very close to you (Dec. 10), Bertrand. Each time I celebrate mine, I will pray and make beautiful wish for you.
