On Monday April 20th, 1987 I become mom to a son, my second child, at the time I pictured the changes in life thru eyes that were young, I imagined the extra work in caring for two children under two, and the ups and downs of raising a boy, what I didn't picture, and time unveiled to me was what an incredible gift I had been give, sometimes I just stare at him in wonder and think "where did you come from, where did you get the big heart, the generous nature, that smile, and sense of humor, now I see thru older eyes, I treasure the gift given to us, I look forward to the years ahead to see what next you do, and I thank God often for sending you to us 19 years ago. do I feel like a mom to a 19 year old, Uh! NO! and why does the comment "it seems like yesterday" become so prominent as they get older? Josh arrived into this world on his schedule, (2 weeks to the day overdue) and has been layed back and calm ever since. He is easy going and even tempered, sleeping thru the night by 1 week. He has put up with too many women in the house his entire life....and survived! I admire his determination, his strength, his kindness. He inspires me with his outlook on life. Happy Birthday Josh, being your mom is one of my greatest gifts.
