Twelve years of this incredible human.
Our boy with the old soul and the giant heart, who has always seemed older than his years. A classical music lover who can disappear into his viola and piano for hours, chasing tone and nuance like it’s treasure — creating, recreating, building music the way he approaches a Lego free build. Focused. Determined.
Trying new things??? First resistance… and then all in. 🧐 And when he commits, he commits — whether it’s perfecting a passage, speaking Spanish, swimming another lap, or running down the field in soccer. And whatever you do, try not to interrupt with a request to clean his room or put away clothes — it will not go over well.
He’s a fierce friend — not to everyone, but to his people. The kind who builds deep, steady, long-lasting relationships. Loyal in a quiet, powerful way. And man, does he have a great laugh.
He loves, loves, loves building Legos — intricate sets spread across the floor of his bedroom like Jackson Po***ck architectural masterpieces. Slippers are required when tiptoeing into his room. And take him (begrudgingly) to an antique store? He’ll come out with less money and something you would never imagine in a million years… and somehow make you see why it’s brilliant — and usually fragile.
Twelve looks thoughtful. Focused. Curious. A little quirky. Entirely wonderful. How grateful are we that we call this incredible human our son!
Happy Birthday, sweet boy. We are endlessly proud of the person you are becoming. 💛🎻
