Happy Birthday, Son!

My son turns 19 today. Nineteen years ago, at 7:01 PM, he entered this world and made me a mother and his dad a father, and the sun has shone brighter and my purpose on this earth has been sure ever since. Happy birthday, son. I know you have classes and labs all day, but I hope you can pause to feel how loved you are, how very loved you are.

    I 'm thinking your son knows how much he is loved.
    You must be bursting proud.
