Look who is TWELVE!
Happy Birthday, Truman!
Everytime I spend time with you, I think, "I wish I would have known him from the start!"
You approach life with an abundance of energy and excitement.
You are authentically YOU without reservations or hesitation. You show up as your magnificent self and make connections quickly, smile often, laugh easily, and amaze us with how quickly your mind works. You are ten steps ahead of all of us!
You are fast! When you decide to explore or move to another space, your speed increases and helps me to realize I can move faster than I thought too!
You have the best taste in music and your preferences are often ones I grew up listening to in the 90s. Because of you, I'm listening to Dido, Mr. Big, and Len again! You have also introduced me to music I've never heard! "Lookout Kid" by Arcade Fire has become one of my favorites - thanks to you!
Your growth has been substantial. After spending 45 minutes with you every week for years, I get to go to your mom and say, "Guess what he did today!" and "When did he start (fill in the blank)?!"
Your love for your mom is absolutely beautiful and profound. She loves you so deeply and you love her right back with the same depth and magnitude.
You have changed the trajectory of my career in the absolute best way. I imagine anyone who knows you would say, "Truman has changed the trajectory of my life too."
Happy Birthday, Truman!
I'm incredibly grateful to know you!
