My wife put together a party this afternoon and even had a trophy engraved for him to mark the occasion.
I cant tell you how good this feels for my wife and I
I started participating in SOTD when we were living away from home while Jack was receiving the intensive phase of the Chemo.
The SOTD forum and the Brothers have been a huge factor in helping me cope with the last 2 years.
A lot of you guys have been sending us thoughts and prayers the whole time and have watched Jack grow up here. He is such a cool little guy. I've never met anyone so tough and brave.
So thank you all for the support.
