Today is my son’s birthday. He’s forty. Where has the time gone.

I had said that I didn’t want kids but after I experienced motherhood, it was the most joyous part of my life.

I was petrified when I brought my firstborn son home. I didn’t want to break him. What a responsibility! Nurturing another human, when even at 64, I still feel like a child myself.

This boy, always good natured. Trying to see another’s point of view. Which makes for a good husband. He has loved his sister so much. Even though they haven’t been able to spend much time together as adults.

I have witnessed him travel to all parts of the country and world. He’s been in very challenging situations, including walking with his youngest son’s journey with cancer and now with his wife’s cancer trials.

He always strives to improve situations and himself.

God blessed us with a wonderful man for a son.

We are the Lucky Ones!
