Dear Jack,
Do you wonder why there has been so many kisses to you lately? One more hug than usual? One more tight squeeze before you go to bed?
2007, your papa and I wondered what you would look like, what you will sound like when you start talking. Then when we found out you were going to be a boy, then we imagined if you would like anything specific. Trains? Cars? Bears? Turns out you ended up liking trains. A lot, And hey, Disney World has that huge steam train that you can take around the park? Wouldn't that be fun to take our kid there? Wouldn't it be great to take our kid there on his 5th birthday? He would be able to go on a lot of rides right?
So right then, your papa and I got stuck with this idea that when it's your 5th birthday, we should take this HUGE Disney trip. Everyone should come along, as we should all celebrate your huge milestone of turning 5. Years pass, and it seemed like the Disney trip wasn't going to work. Your papa and I never mentioned it to each other, but we felt that silent crush in our hearts that we wouldn't be going. We told ourselves we should go at least when Charlie was 3, just so we can go on rides together. We were going, just not on your birthday.
Then your papa said the magic words "We have the means. Let's just do it. Let's go to Disney. It's Jack's birthday!"
This was planned a week before your birthday, as we will be there a week later. We couldn't be more happier for ourselves as a family - we worked so hard in 2012, there were so many sacrifices that were done for us, that we deserve this. We deserve this time for us, and you boys deserve to be treated to one of the best vacations of your lives so far. Our dream for your 5th birthday came true, and it makes us truly happy to be your Mama and Papa.
Here we go my sweet Jacky boy. Off to Disney World!!
