My son—five years ago you arrived. I had Donald Byrd’s “Wind Parade” piping out of my phone in the delivery room. It was smooth and melodic. I was waiting for your first sounds to pierce through the music and you did just that. I’m incredibly blessed to be your father. I’m so proud of who you are and excited for your journey ahead. I cannot thank you enough for making me a better person. Daddy loves you—always. Happy Birthday! ❤️
