Damn Z what an amazing day it was to celebrate your birthday! We had a doughnut b day pyramid for you and mama and papa came to surprise you in the morning after school. Your new classmates sang HBD and you loved it. You were shy but you did say thank you and enjoyed it which was amazing to see. We went and ran errands and we both got haircuts.

After all that was done we set up the pool and you went swimming which was cool. You have a little kid pool but you looked amazing and I loved it. We rode bikes and we had a dinner for you. S’mores and cake was amazing as well.

The highlight was seeing you open your gifts and everyone got you gifts which was amazing and awesome. You are so loved and the expressions you gave were so innocent and of pure joy.

Prior to all of this I was upstairs with your mom and I was reading her my post on IG. I started to cry because I love you so much. I cried for like 10 minutes because I always tel you I love you but I never sit back and reflect on the joy that you have given me as being your daddy. So I cried in the bathroom as I was just sobbing because I don’t want you to ever get hurt and I want you to be my baby forever but I know that’s not gonna happen. Part of you growing up is learning how to get back up when you fall down and I want to give you those skills so you know that you’re the bomb and nobody can touch you or take that away from you. SHSF papa!

You got some amazing gifts but the best ones were your Jelly shirt and your shark that Gigi got you! Z please be responsible and look after your sister because y’all are blood and we gotta take care of one another.

I love you papa!

Love,

Daddy
