ake Vella, who just turned 14-years-old, was congratulated on this special day by his parents Josie and Maruska, despite their son celebrating from Mater Dei Hospital.
The parents took to Facebook to state that despite this birthday not being what they all wished for, being celebrated from Mater Dei, it’s still a special one for them.
This is because they still get to celebrate Jake’s life with him and they get to see Jake recuperating despite all the medical tribulations he is currently overcoming.
‘The smile and determination you have can overcome any battle’ wrote Jake’s parents. The birthday was also celebrated by Puttinu Cares, with the NGO writing:
‘Happy Birthday to Jake Vella. Many tell you that you are an inspiration, but for us you are more than that…. For us you a lovely living legend and fill us with courage, determination and above all love. Thank you to your lovely parents. HAPPY BIRTHDAY.’
And on behalf of MaltaDaily, we would like to wish Jake a happy birthday as well!
