How Can it Be?

My Sweet Boy - How can it possibly be that you have gone from this




to this



in the blink of an eye? Where is the boy who yelled "Don't go be-bout me" when I was heading out the door? The boy who used to fit easily into my lap, used a booster seat and would sing and talk himself to sleep at night?

You, my sweet 11 year old boy, have changed my world so completely. Being your mom is all at once the hardest and the most fulfilling thing I have ever done. I am so proud of the young man you are becoming - but remember you will always be my little man. Even though you did not grow inside me - I know I was meant to be your mom. I am so blessed to call you my son.

Happy 11th Birthday
Love
Mom
