It reads:

When I look at this picture of you walking ahead of us, all alone yet so independent and self confident I am filled with such a sense of wonder and amusement. This has ALWAYS been you. You are your own person, you walk to your own music, beat your own drum. And beat that drum you do – destroy it in fact. How many times over the past five years have your father and I looked at each other and said “WHERE did he COME from??” How many times have Nanny and Poppy called me at work in absolute exasperation claiming “I don’t know what we are going to DO with him!” ? Some would call you spoiled, some would call you bad-tempered, some would call you spirited…but whatever the words we use, they all mean the same thing – you are one of a kind. You know your own mind and you are not going to let anyone tell you otherwise. The truth is that you are strong, fierce, loyal, stubborn, independent, challenging, loveable, aggressive, SMART and absolutely adorable in your own very special sweet way. In so many ways you are nothing like William and Jennifer, and yet in others, it is no trouble to tell that you are siblings.

Perhaps it is because you are our last baby, perhaps it is because we are older now and having you come into our lives like the whirlwind of pure energy that you are is a bit harder to deal with than we expected. But you know what? It doesn’t matter. The real truth is - you fill our lives to the brim. You fulfill your father and I in ways you can never imagine and in ways we could never explain.

So be spirited my darling son, walk to your own beat and know that no matter what – your Dad and I adore you and we are behind you every step of the way.
