Happy Birthday, Beautiful Boy!
On October 2nd, 1999 we welcomed our son and brother into the world. There were times we didn't think he would make it out of the NICU. Along the way there have been other frightening moments, times we thought we might lose him. But here is Ben Waddell - our hero, a source of never-ending strength and courage, and an individual who has taught us more about living than any other.
Today is bittersweet for me dear Ben. I am traveling to another show because my job requires it now. It is a job I love and it is only because of you that I'm living a dream. But know that I'd rather be with you than anywhere else in the world today.
When I return we will celebrate. We will laugh, smile, play, share our love as we do most days now. Thank you Ben for the treasures you have brought our home. We so very much love you!
Dad, Mom, & Jessie

Happy Birthday Beaufitul Ben! Thank you for sharing this special boy with all of us!
Happy BIRTHDAY BEN!!!
What a special special lil' boy.
I am blessed to have found you all.
Happy Birthday, Sunshine Ben!
You are getting more handsome every day - and your smile really is a ray of sunshine!
Keep on being the smile-maker you are. You are more effective in changing your world for the better, than many, many others that don't face the health challenges you do.
Being able to spread smiles is a special gift - and you got the one with the ribbons, bells and whistles.
Thanks for sharing your smile with us!
