Dear Son, Jairus,
As I sit down to pen this birthday wish, I’m filled with a special kind of joy that only a father can feel. Today marks 17 extraordinary years of you bringing laughter, curiosity, and light into our lives!
Happy 17th Birthday, my not-so-little guy!
You know, scientists say teenagers’ brains aren’t fully developed yet, but somehow you’ve managed to outsmart me countless times already!
Remember when you were little and thought you knew everything? Well, the tables have certainly turned! These days, I’m learning more from you than you probably realize. Your unique perspective and the way you approach life make me incredibly proud.
As you stand at this interesting crossroads, I want you to know that I see you as the thoughtful young man you’re becoming. Your journey is just beginning, and what an adventure it will be!
May your 17th year be filled with good decisions (mostly), memorable experiences, and just enough mistakes to keep you humble and growing. And know that no matter how tall you get or how independent you become, you’ll always be my boy.
With all my love and dad jokes,
Dad
I’m not as smart as you say I am haha but thank you so much dada I miss you
