Happy 10th Birthday, Noah
Ten years ago, we held you in our arms for the very first time, and from that moment on, our hearts have experienced emotions that words cannot express.
You arrived with a head full of hair that made everyone in the hospital stop and say, "What a beautiful baby!" Mum loved hearing that, and Dad secretly used to worry that if he took you out by myself, people might think he had borrowed someone else's baby because you were just too handsome to be mine! 😄
And now, somehow, that beautiful little baby has become ten years old.
Over the years, we've watched you grow into a boy with a curious mind and a loving heart. You can talk about sports all day, cheer passionately for Geelong, amaze us with your basketball skills, and somehow beat Dad at chess more often than not. Your Chinese teacher is proud of you, and so are we.
But what makes us proudest isn't your basketball, your chess, or your achievements.
It's who you are becoming. The boy who comes running whenever Mum or Dad need help. The boy who cares when someone is sick.
The big brother who Nathan looks up to, even when brothers annoy each other.
The boy who is learning that character matters more than trophies, and that discipline and consistency - whether in basketball, school, or even tracking your net worth - can take you far in life.
Like every child, you've had moments of mistakes, frustrations, and lessons to learn. But we've also watched your heart become softer, your empathy grow deeper, and your love become stronger. And that gives us so much hope, because we know the best version of Noah is still ahead of you. 💪
Ten years ago, you made us Mum and Dad, and that has been one of the greatest gifts of our lives.
Thank you for your hugs, your endless sports conversations, your curiosity, your laughter, and the joy you bring into our home.
You don't have to earn our love. You never did.
We loved you before you achieved anything, and we will love you long after the scores are forgotten and the trophies have faded.
Happy 10th Birthday, our beautiful boy.
May you always be kind.
May you always be curious.
May you always be courageous.
