Dear Readers,
What days are special in your children's lives. I imagine a birthday would be one of them.
Birthdays allow moms and dads a time to reflect on the past before a child's birth. Mothers remember the 9 months of pregnancy, labor pains and birth of the child. Mothers also remember the extremely painful kick from the child felt inside her stomach which caused her to catch her breath and say "There has to be a football player in there because he surely can kick."
Fathers remember the remarks that were said at the nursery window such as: he is the biggest baby in the nursery, he looks just like his dad, he is a handsome baby.
Other special memories and milestones are: son's graduation from Preschool and Mom's graduation from college occurred in the same month/year, his high school graduation occurred on Mom's birthday.
His 18th birthday, Mom was able to add to memories that he was a freshman in college living on the dorm. Today on his 19th birthday, Mom's memory will be that he has returned to college as a Sophomore.
Happy Birthday son, Mom loves you dearly! I will see you at the end of Sophomore year!
