Happy Birthday Kaso…
To My Sweet Sweet Baby Boy – Happy 10th Birthday, Kaisen Rueben!
You have outgrown my lap, but you will “never” outgrow my heart.
Today, my baby boy turned 10 years old —double digits! And while you may not be a baby anymore, in my eyes, you will always be the little bundle of joy that help changed my life forever.
Ten years ago, you entered this world (a few fashionable days late, of course) and immediately stole my heart. I can still remember holding you for the first time—so tiny, so perfect—and feeling this overwhelming sense of completeness. You were the missing piece to our little family, and from that moment on, life has never been the same. Watching you grow these past ten years has been one of the greatest gifts I’ve ever received. Every year, every phase, every quirky moment has brought something new to love. From your boundless energy to your hilarious comments, from your deep curiosity about the world to your beautifully bold honesty—you are truly one of a kind.
Kaisen, I love how you care so deeply for others, even when they don’t always return the kindness. I love how you look at the world with wonder, how you question everything, and how you see the best in people and situations. You remind me daily that joy can be found in the simplest things and that kindness is always the right choice. You are passionate, determined, and incredibly talented—especially in sports. I see the way your eyes light up on the field or court, and I know greatness is within your reach. Keep chasing your dreams, baby boy. Stay curious, stay courageous, and never lose that spark that makes you “you”. One day, you’ll turn those passions into purpose—and I can’t wait to see it all unfold.
Today is “your” day. I hope it’s filled with laughter, cake, surprises, and everything your heart desires. You deserve nothing less. I love you endlessly, Kaisen Rueben Thornton. Happy 10th Birthday, my sweet, sweet boy! Thank you for completing our family and making every day a little brighter.
Love always,
Mom
