All of two years

This is for Joe. Joseph. Joe-B-One-Kanobie. Stinky Bear and so on. I honestly can't believe you are two. These have been the fastest two years of my life. We have been through so many changes and you have rocked along right with us. I can't possibly tell you how much I love you, I can't possibly. What I can tell you are all of the little things I love about you. I love that you are funny and you know it. I love that you tell me all the time "Joe funny". I love that you get all that funny from your Daddy. I love that you are a fighter. That you have been sick for half of your life and it never slows you down. I love that the day we checked you into the hospital you were swinging from the end of Dr. Milner's table like a monkey crying "weeeeee". I love how you love your brother. I love that the first thing you say in the morning is "Json(Jackson) till nigh nigh?". You know he is part of you. You know he is everything you are not and that makes you both better people. I love that you never give up. You see a ten year old do something at the park and you see absolutely no reason why you can't also do the monkey bars. You are a bruiser and you have a big heart. You look like a little angel with your strawberry blond curls and you have a black eye half the time. Your smile lights up a room. You will make people smile. You will make people laugh. You will always be a Mamma's boy (but I won't tell). I believe uncle Jeremy said it best "Joe, will be the guy you call on a Friday night, because he will always know whats shakin". Joseph, you love life and there is no question about that. I know you will be an explorer and that is going to give me about 100 heartattacks along the way, but I am loving every minute of this ride with you. I love you one million baby boy. Happy Birthday "B"!
