Happy Birthday to my Baby!

It's hard to believe that I am the mother of a 19 year old child.  But every day of his 19 years have been the most wonderful days of my life.  Even on my saddest days, my son can make me smile.  Even on the days that he make me so angry, I feel love.  Even on the days that he is far away at college, I feel his warmth and affection.

I have been lucky to raise a son who is smart, funny, cute, great to have a conversation with, polite and well-mannered and has the common sense to know right from wrong.  He believes in God & country, he loves his very extended family, he loves history, working with kids and having fun.

He is everything I always I hoped he would be.  And I love him so very much.

Happy Birthday Baby. You have made this 19 years all the better and I look forward to sharing the rest of our lives and seeing you become all I know you can be!
