Milestone birthdays, such as your oldest son turning 18, give you cause to pause and ponder what life has brought you in these 18 years. It is such a blessing to be able to witness and partake in the unfolding of another human being's life, especially one you love so much.
As a parent you are given such an extraordinary gift from the moment of conception. Their life is their own and yet, you remember more of that person's life than they do themselves...like when they were born, their first smile, their first step, the many trips to the zoo, the reading of books, etc. And after what seems to be the blink of an eye they turn 18 and officially become adults.
Each memory is priceless and highly cherished, as will all the memories yet to come. And today, I celebrate the wonderful being he is with a heart full of love and gratitude, wishing him all the best life has to offer now and always. Happy Birthday Wesley!
