Our little Mango has officially turned 2! Two years of so much struggles for a little boy not even big enough for his age. He really is a little trooper. While we all sang happy birthday to Mango, I couldn't help but look around at everyone and realise what a good feeling it was to see how much Mango was loved. To see that he is who he is and no matter what that was, everyone loved him. Everyone loved him for no other reason than him. His smile contagious and his laugh just so adorable. You can't help but suddenly feel the need to laugh. 

A two year old boy who has changed so many lives in our path in life but most of all he has changed the people around him into better people. How much we have grown together and see the world in such a different view. I used to pray for a child who would change hearts, except I never realised till now that My prayers were given to me. For so long I have seen myself as taking this path on my own, by myself with noone but me. Now I realise I have been pushing the people that care most away. To try and protect Mango from nothing but my fear of people falling out of love with him. How could they though? Just by looking at him- your heart swells with love for him. Im being bias, I know. 

In saying all that, I want to take this time to thank all my family and friends for everything they have done. I want to thank you for being there for us when we needed you. Thank you for being there when we didn't ask you to be there but you still came to show your support. Thank you for listening and sharing our worries with us. Thank you for worrying when we worry, for being happy when we are happy, for crying when we cry and most of all - loving our boys just the way they are and for nothing more or less. 

We always miss the opportunity to stop and tell you how much it means to us that you are a part of our lives and riding along this journey with us. To see the love and support you give us. We love you for that.
