My dear boy, ⁣
⁣
You have grown so in these nine years but when I see you struggle, I remember this little man. Your impish smile remains even as you are more man than boy. This week, you pushed yourself, fighting against your anxiety and processing disorder and surmounted a huge hurdle. I could not have been more proud of you.⁣
⁣
Yesterday. Today. Tomorrow. I love you.
