And just like that… your first year is in the books.
Jude Scott Terry… what can I even say? This year has been nothing short of an adventure. I still remember the first moment I looked into your eyes and knew you had that Terry drive and craziness in you… but man, I was wrong — because somehow you managed to exceed both your big brother and me.
You’ve given us heart-dropping hospital visits, nonstop “rawrs” like we’re somehow supposed to understand dinosaur language, bite marks on everybody because apparently that’s your way of showing love, and more unforgettable memories than we could’ve ever imagined. Watching you grow into such an amazing little boy this past year has been one of the greatest blessings of my life.
No matter what this first year has thrown your way, you’ve faced it head on. Through every obstacle, every challenge, and every battle with asthma, you’ve continued to show us just how strong you are. You always look back at Mommy and Daddy with those eyes that seem to say, “I got this.” And you do. Every single time. Strong just like your big brother.
Jude, from the bottom of my heart, I am beyond grateful that God chose me to be your dad. You remind me every single day what truly matters in life. No matter what the world throws at me, I know I can come home to you and your brother, and suddenly all the stress and chaos fades away the second you crawl toward me with that big smile on your face.
Happy First Birthday, Judy B***y.
You are deeply loved, endlessly cherished, and one of the greatest gifts God has ever given us. ❤️
