Happy Birthday, my dear sweet boy.  You have been forced to grow up more than you should have, this past year.  And, there are no words to express how incredibly proud we are of who you are, the decisions you make, and the action and advocacy you take.   Continue to surround yourself with people who challenge you, take care of each other, and create change.  Oh, and thanks for holding off on all those angsty teenager behaviors another year.  We love you, Bennett Daniel. Like a lot.
