Today is my son Ethan’s birthday 🎂
I held him like this years ago — small, warm, fitting perfectly in my arms — and somehow, time never slowed down.

He still laughs the same way.
Open. Honest. Effortless.
Like joy has always known where to find him.

Being his dad has taught me more than I ever expected —
patience,
gratitude,
and the quiet truth that the simplest days are often the ones that matter most.

Not every moment needs to be big.
Not every day needs a reason.Sometimes, being together is more than enough.

Today, I thank God for another year with my son 🙏
For his life. For his light. For the privilege of calling him mine.

🎉 Happy Birthday, Ethan.
You are my heart, always
