It feels like just yesterday we were playing this song for you while you were in my tummy, kicking away. There’s nothing to say, only that we’re blessed to have you in our lives. You make every day feel like a full, creamy, yummy, delicious piece of cake. Happy birthday, baby tiger… we love you more than love itself.”
