I don't have much time.  It's almost midnight.  Yet, I cannot let the day literally slip away without putting something in writing about one of the most import events in my life.
 
Today, my oldest son turned 20! 
 
Happy Birthday B!  If you only knew how much I loved you, it would overwhelm you.  Someday, when (and only then) you have kids of your own, will you completely understand such love. 
 
You are an awesome son and I'm proud to be your mom and to have been blessed with such a gift as you.
 
I love you!

    Happy Birthday to your "B.!"    My son is 21 and I know just where you are with your thoughts.

    Couldn't get here sooner as SC was taking a break!

    U-I, thanks!  They grow up too fast!  I cannot believe it.  Makes me want to hold on to Scooter that much harder.

    No way you have a 20 yrs old son!!!

    When did you have him? At 12???

    I feel that you are proud as a proud mama can be...:-)

    ha ha Ginger!  Alas, I am definitely old enough for a 20 year old but bless your heart and soul for thinking I'm too young!!!!!!! 
    I am very proud.  Kids are a gift.

    happy bday b!!!!

    Ginger, you are still too kind. Getting older sucks!  Kids getting older????? Well, that depends on their moods.  Sometimes I can't wait for them to grow up and other (most) times, it is just soo depressing.  I also wish I had a daughter.  You are definitely blessed.  Hang in there till she has babies - a while yet - but that will be wonderful!  Grandchildren to spoil and hug, and kiss, and love.......I could go on and on.  Different with boys.  Girls are your daughters forever.  Boys are your sons till they take wives.  Boys grow up and go away......the tighter you hold on, the harder they pull away.  Always.  Males.  Sheesh!
     
    Thanks QueenP!  You're such a sweetheart!  I hope you are well!  How is the BBQ selling?

Last night I was so tired from work and studying all day that when I came home I instantly fell asleep on the floor while my son was playing with his toys. What a funny picture huh? Here I am in my nice working clothes, tight black-long sleeved shirt,...
She's 28. She's mentioned in my last blog, about a really good day.

Today I met her daughter. Her son is seven, who I haven't met yet. I'm sure we'll get on fine, I have a stepdad who was pretty awesome when him and my mum started out. We're ...
