Happy Birthday, Son

I have been blessed with the most wonderful son.  17 years ago today, I was in the hospital having just given birth to a little boy.  I remember feeling extremely scared about raising a son all on my own.  Little did I know at that time what a fulfilling experience that would turn out to be. 

Caleb, you have grown up to be a strong, opinionated, caring, funny young man.  I am so proud of the work that you have done this past year to help to improve your life.  We have our ups and downs as a mother and son, but I think all of those battles along the way helped us both to build a stronger relationship.

I secretively wish that you never move out to start your own life.  But, I know that the day will come when you will venture out on your own to have new and excited adventures.  Remember that I am always there for you no matter what you need. 

Love, Mom
