Farley, 34, also shares 4-year-old daughter Meilani with estranged husband Roger Mathews.

“You slept on my chest until you were a year old because it was the only way I could calm your chronic cough… yet, I needed that more than you needed me because hearing your breath every night calmed me,” the mother of two said. “Now I wake up with your arm across my face or your butt on my head. I wouldn’t have it any other way.”

Speaking about Greyson’s speech therapy, Farley reflected on her son’s determination and growth.

Farley concluded, “To my perfect son, happy birthday… I’ll continue to hold you every night until my last breath.”

Just three months later, Greyson was diagnosed with autism.
