Dear Jack

I remember the day you were born as if it were yesterday. The memories of meeting you for the first time are forever etched in my mind. The way you looked, the way you sounded, and how you felt when I held you close. You were and still are my baby boy even if you are too old to give momma kisses. 
8 years old!!!! Wow! You've been through a lot the past few years, as the rest of us, but I want you know that I recognize the sacrifices you have made for our family and in your childhood. While Lucy was the one taking the chemo, cancer has affected us all and taken a lot away from our family. I'm proud of how you have handled it over the years, but today I am the most proud. 
You are celebrating your birthday at St. Jude in Memphis while your sister undergoes surgery, treatments for the entire day. And all you said to that was "we will make the best of it". You didn't ask for a party, and you only asked for one gift.  That my son is tell tale sign of how big your heart is. You've always had a big heart when it comes to your sister. From the day we brought her home and her shares your best toys with her, to when she was so sick and you laid with her trying to comfort her. I am proud of the young man you are starting to become. Much sooner than you need to be. 
Today doesn't just mark an important day for Lucy and her no mo chemo, or for you and your birthday. Today marks an important day for our entire family. Cancer has effected each and every one of us differently. It has stolen things, and yet it has given us a pretty solid framework in which we have decided to live our lives. No regrets, go for the gold, and laugh as much as you possibly can. So I want you to always remember that this day is YOUR day as much as it is all of our day. 
Happy birthday, buddy. I love you and admire you very much. And I love that you can make me laugh just by laughing yourself. And thank you for sharing your day with the family in a place we have called our second home for the past 2.5 years and not a complaint or worry from you. 
Love, mommy  (you may not give me kisses anymore but you still call me mommy)
