When Noah was diagnosed with hydranencephaly at 9 weeks old his paediatrician told us that his life expectancy wasn't good, and estimated that he would live for maybe 2-4 years. We have been so blessed to have been able to share another 1825 days with him. Today he turns 9!
It's so hard to believe that it has been 9 years. Nine years of hard times, good times, fun times, sad times and happy times. Nine years of loving the most amazing little man. Nine years of wondering why we got to be the parents of such a special little boy, but so grateful that we did.
We love you Noah!
Beautiful video! Beautiful boy!
ReplyDeleteBiggest smooches for Noah, from across the sea. I think I miss him the most of anyone at home! Happy Birthday, sweet boy. :)
I am CRYING! I just LOVE that boy. I pray that you have many more with him too. Enjoy EVERY.MINUTE! So hard to be without my Ben...I long to see those beautiful eyes looking around the way Noah did at the end of the video. THANK YOU FOR SHARING THAT. I can't tell you how much I needed that today. Happy birthday to your sweet boy. Please squeeze him for me.
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday Noah <3
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely BEAUTIFUL slide-show Lisa. He's an adorable little spirit and it was definitely no accident that he was placed in your family. My favourite photo is the one of him close up in his green shirt. He looks so grown up and handsome. Oh, and my second favourite was the one with a certain Hawks player standing with him (damn....I already forget his name, but you know the one!!!).
Happy Birthday again big man and I hope your mum and dad spoil you rotten. xxx
Happy Birthday Noah!
ReplyDeleteThat video was stunning. It brought a lump to my throat! He is so lucky to have such a wonderful family, and you are so lucky to have him.
9 years... that is AWESOME! Happy Birthday Noah!
ReplyDeleteA beautiful video of a gorgeous boy! (I was getting a bit worried about the lack of brown and gold until towards the end though :)
