Well, it’s official. Idan will wake up on Sunday morning a 2 year-old.
With everything we’ve been through lately, anniversaries and milestones are reminders to stop for a moment, take a deep breath, and reflect. Mostly, we feel extraordinarily thankful. Regardless of the time we’ve “lost,” we’ve gained so much along the way.
Idan is truly a spectacular person who is at once bashful and yet can entertain a room of people. He is strong-willed, and focuses intently even while playing. And yet, on a dime, his concentration can be broken into a bout of silliness, songs and dance.
It is therefore somewhat surprising that he is only now turning two. And it is even more surprising how someone who has been in your life for such a short time can completely take it over, give it new meaning, shape and redefine you so that you are a better person for it. Not even two years old, and he has already changed the course of our lives.
Idan, my hero, here is my birthday wish for you: May you continue to always bring sunshine into a room. May the sun always shine on you, and may you live another 120 (or more!) years with the best of health, happiness, and goodness.
