A boy and his dog!

Why do you have to grow up so fast???

~TRACE~

T= Treasured, from the first moment they laid you in my arms! I felt the bond then, but little did I realize that bond would grow stronger and stronger with each passing day.

R= Resilient, in your short 10 years you have had to endure more surgeries and recoveries than most people ever do in a lifetime. You never ceased to amaze your dad and I in how quickly you bounced back! You are and will always be our little trooper!

A= Admired, you have a fan-base that stretches for miles... You are a true friend, in the purest sense of the word. You would do anything for a buddy and you have even captured the heart of a few female admirers;-)

C= Courageous, you are always willing to try something new. More times than not you excel at it. You have such a quiet confidence about you though, you are more inclined to show others that you can do it rather than tell them!

E= Exceptional, in every aspect. You are brilliant, and can do anything you set your mind to. You are kind, compassionate and giving, you bring out the good in everyone you meet. You are really the only one that can make me laugh so hard that I cry. Your drive and determination set you apart, and has been known to leave your dad in awe.

I hope you know how lucky your dad and I are to call you our son. You make us want to be better people! We are so proud of all you have accomplished in your short ten years, but more than that we are so proud of the young man you have grown into. We cannot wait to see where your life takes you. Always know that we are behind you cheering you on! The possibilities are endless for you buddy! Thank you for the greatest 10 years ever, but most of all thank you for being you! WE LOVE YOU!!!

Mom, Dad and Cabria!!!
