Doesn't seem possible that I have a 19 year old, an 11 year old a 16 month old and now one that is getting ready to turn 14. My first born is already only four years away from adulthood. Surely not!! It truly does not feel as though he should be that old. I remember his first birthday thinking that the "teen years" were so far away. Of course I was a teen myself so I wasn't thinking that I would have a teen ;) Now here we are years later and he is 5" ft 5" tall and a handsome young man. I am very proud of him. Joshua and I went down some bumpy paths together when he was born. There were many nights we spent alone together, moved from place to place to place, growing together and learning together what the world was about not to mention how to live in the world. Without the love of "normal" parents we set out on a path that would take us on the journey of our lives. Now almost 14 and myself being 32 we are finding our way. He was my inspiration at 17 and continues to be. Thank you son for your love and for being MINE! I Love you!!! Happy Birthday
