Champagne means a call for celebration. We used that alot in wedding dinners. A toss for the couple and families to signify different meanings of life together.
I don't fancy champagne. In fact, I only have little to zero knowledge of alcohol or beer or whisky etc. I can't really differentiate. I just know I don't need them. Some friends will be like meh...
A cheers of coffee perhaps?
But I love celebration!
Celebration — here I am, thinking of my second son, who is going to celebrate his 5th birthday 6 days from today.
He is going to be 5!
I just can't believe it. Time flies...
I still could remember vividly the day surgeon met up with us in his office to draw us a diagram of how was he going to cut him in order to fix his congenital diaphragmatic hernia. Then we were given the scariest stats that he was given 50/50 survival rate for the surgery and thereafter it was up to his vital organs whether to sustain him or to fail him.
"Fail him? Means?"
I remembered I asked.
"He will pass on."
I also remembered my tears kept flowing down after hearing that, at that moment I was gripped with sadness and fear.
Through many ordeals and he is still experiencing (or suffering) some complication now and then, we have emerged stronger than ever. We will never be the same as the persons we were 5 years ago when we had more time socialising, but our hearts have grown richer and fuller. More able to face fear with faith.
I thank God for life. Indeed, everyone is precious. Come to think about it, even the worst person on earth starts his or her life as a cute little adorable baby.
Ops. I typed way more than 5 minutes.
To my little champion CDH survivor, mummy toss a champagne of celebration with you for reaching 5 years old (young).
I love him to the moon and back.

You have a nice little boy. You can be proud of him.
Happy birthday to your little guy! The 5 year old miracle :)
There is so much to celebrate here! The skilled surgeon, the will to live, the miracle of medicine and parents love and prayers.
It never ceases to amaze me.
I am so touched by your story and by the fact that despite the odds, he has grown into a beautiful son, whose mom loves him to the moon and back. Be blessed, my friend.
And thank you for sharing your story.

I am a sober for my entire life. Yeah, but I don't forget to celebrate. It does not require any alcohol to celebrate. It all depends on your mind.
He is a cute little handsome guy!
You have much to celebrate @iamjadeline. ♥️
Your son looks like a very happy little person! I'm sure that you cherish each and every day with him. I also have children and would also be crushed if any of them suffered health issues like that. I commend you for being a great mother, and I lift my coffee cup to you!
Time flies with the LITTLE one. I wish i could freeze time they are so freaking cute and i want them to stay LITTLE
Don't like Champagne much but I do like coffee
I would totally say Cheers to a coffee mate :)
Life tests us in many different ways, good to hear you and your son are both well. Something to celebrate over .
I'm so happy that your son's surgery worked for him and he is so happy and mostly healthy!
Such a good momma and definitely something worth celebrating!
I know the bold heart you have that can bear all ordeal.....just keep smiling...

A mother's love is the most precious thing on earth!
So glad to see your little boy weathering the storms in his life!
All blessings to you guys!
Good to know you are not into alcohol. Wise move.
I remember the first time I heard about what was going on with your son from the #PowerHouseCreatives family, and it touched my heart. To see how far he's come, even with all the struggles your family has had to endure, is totally hitting all my feels! Sending my very best wishes to all of you, and toasting you with my own coffee mug! Also...

Beautiful little boy. Five is a great age. Enjoy a cup of coffee. :-)
I will drink a toast with you (no champagne here either sadly) to celebrate your little guy's 5th birthday. How scared you must have been before the surgery. He's a very happy looking little boy today and I know that you cherish every minute.
Happy Birthday to your baby boy. 🎉🎊🙏

Thank goodness he survived the surgery! May he have continued health.
Happy birthday to your son @iamjadeline time flies when you have kids!
I remember when your little man was so ill last year. I am so glad to hear he's doing well.
The story of your son and your family is a wonderful one, and definitely worth cheering about! I hope he has a most wonderful and fun birthday! 😃
