About 8 or 9 years ago, I remember a conversation that I had with my dear friend, Amy. The conversation went something like this:
"You realize that when the kids turn 8, we're half way to driving?"
"Wow. Really? Well, that means when they turn 9, just a year later, that we're half way to graduation."
That time is now. At the end of December, Jared acquired his learner's permit. Tomorrow, he turns 16. When did this happen? I'm just a couple years away from turning 40, and I'm cool with that. But my baby, he's turning 16! That, well, that's what I'm struggling with.
I love watching my children grow up. I love spending time with them.
Jared is growing up and becoming a wonderful young man. He's kind, considerate, helpful, loving, funny, caring, passionate. I love you, and very proud of all things that you have accomplished.
Happy birthday, Son.
