Ten

Happy 10th Birthday Alex! Ten years ago today, I met my amazing son face to face for the first time. He was a sick little guy when he was born and Rob and I didn't know if he'd survive. He was a fighter from the beginning, and against the odds, Alex grew and thrived. Here's the first picture ever taken of Alex:

And here is Alex ten years later:

I love you to the moon and back sweet boy! Happy birthday.

Ali, I have been thinking about that day 10 years ago all day today. I can still picture those tubes and machines to which Alex was connected. When I think about it, it seems like yesterday, and when I think "10 years," it seems so far away. Alex was and is a fighter. So are his mom and dad. Since that day 10 years ago, you have shown the strength necessary to help Alex grow into the wonderful boy he is. Congratulations to all of you on this milestone.

Love,
NoName (the name I received the day of his birth)
