To Our Precious and Adorable Deqlan,

Today, you are officially two and a half year's old !! What's the big deal you may ask of us who have seriously taken to "celebrating" even half birthdays ?

Simply, precious Deqlan, it is but another wonderful opportunity to "celebrate YOU" and all you mean to us and our lives. Celebrating half birthdays means that we are all too aware of the fact that WE SHOULD NEVER TAKE ANYTHING FOR GRANTED - persons, people, places, circumstances, situations, but above all blessings ! It is another way of honouring God and giving Him thanks and praise for YOU.

It's YOUR second and a half birthday, but WE GOT THE GIFT IN YOU AND OF YOU !!!!

Our gift is the pure blessing you are in our daily lives which demonstrates and plays itself out on physical, emotional, psychological and spiritual levels.

The gifts you represent are many and they are great and include the gift of:

- your beautiful essence permeating every part and aspect of our lives
- your adorable presence in the form of a most beautiful toddler, your most enchanting and mischievous smile, the music of your laughter, the softness and smell of your skin, your amazingly expressive eyes and impossibly long eye lashes, the colour and smell of your gorgeous and slightly curly hair, soccer-player calves, etc, you are perfect in every way
- your indomitable spirit and passion for life and living
- OF BEING ABLE TO :
* be with you daily and marvel at the miracle you are
* take you on our morning walks where we admire (and sometimes pick !) some beautiful flowers, one of which we always take home to Mamma; where we have made friends with so many doggies in the neighbourhood who wag their tails when they see you, where we greet the gatekeepers at the high school and the creche; where we visit the huge water garden feature down the road where you always finish off your morning juice whilst the cool waters flow gently over the rocks;where you often fall asleep before we get back home and then have the joy to place you on your bed and switch the classical music on ever so softly; where we say our daily prayers together to thank Jesus for His miracle healing of you and to pray for His wisdom and guidance in "pulling you through the Autism Spectrum Window" as soon as possible
- to celebrate with you last Saturday at the CANSA Shavathon in front of the sign "Cancer Survivor"; what a privilege and honour it was for us to salute you in this special way and to hear "Chasing Cars" play in your honour; what a treasured blessing to have 14 months of NED as testament to God's healing miracles - these 14 months are just the first of FOREVER NED!!!
- appreciate your great appetite for all your new foods and how you have accepted these restrictions without any fuss and in great faith
- share special times, tickling you, playing on the bridge in the sensory garden, pointing out helicopters and birds flying above, paging through your favourite books and being overcome with delight and love when your expressions change for each picture

Always remember how much we value and appreciate your uniqueness. Just one of your many talents Nanna sometimes truly wishes you would share with her, is how you amazingly manage to "block out" so completely all the unimportant or uninteresting things, events, persons or situations and concentrate on only that which appeals to you or is important to you in your environment. You remain Master of Valuable and Humble Lessons in our lives and your teachings are by example and deed.

YOU ARE A DAILY REMINDER OF GOD'S GREATNESS AND HIS LOVE IN ACTION, OF HIS POWER AND HIS GLORY, OF HIS MIRACLES AND HIS MERCY. Deqlan, your name means "full of prayer" so you are an exquisite testament to us all.

On your 2nd and a half birthday and always, remember that you are loved beyond measure, treasured beyond understanding and cherished beyond description.

CONGRATULATIONS BEAUTIFUL DEQLAN AND THANK YOU GREAT GOD FOR THIS WONDERFUL DAY OF CELEBRATION.

All our love,

Nanna and Grandpa

Happy 2 and 1/2 Birthday our dear Deqlan! As so many people but especially Nanna has written you are the most beautiful natured little boy with so much love to give us all, you light up our live and your laughter is music to our souls and we are privledged to hear it many times a day - a testament to the joy and happiness you experience at Nannas house each day! I salute your recent transition with your diet and am in awe of how "easy" it was for you, no crying, no craving, no fuss - your lets just get on with it attitude it something I will always think of in times when I think something is going to be so hard! I will stop guessing ahead of time that a task will be difficult because like you I will think to myself "you have not even tried it so how do you know it will be hard", so many people are too afraid to try new things and to discover new avenues, but not you darling Deqlan, you jump right in with both feet! What a honor it was to see you playing yesterday in the new play sand when they were delievering it and you climbed to the top of the pile of sand - you know what I thought " Of you standing on the top of Everest one day!!!!!!" Then I thought hang on, stuff Everest you have already climbed mountains much higher than Everest in your tiny little life and come out victorious - I guess what im trying to say is thank you for teaching us all the greatest lesson of all - never ever not for a moment take a minute for granted - we are all incredibly blessed! Heres to another century together my boy! God bless you and keep you safe! Love Conrad, Meggie and Keaton
