My sweet baby boy is a grown man now. Married. A lawyer even. (You know I had to squeeze that in, what kind of mother would I be other wise?!?!)
Along with my other children, he has given me the most precious, golden seconds, minutes, hours of pure joy. Watching him grow, watching his personality develop has been a gift from God. He was always a little serious, but can be incredibly funny. His smile, his laugh still lifts my heart. Will always do so.
Thank you, Ryan, for being my son. I love you.

The time does go by fast. All though mine are only 5 and 2 1/2 but it seems like I just had a little baby yesterday.
Treasure every second! The next thing you know, they'll be sleeping on your couch with big hairy man legs and feet hanging out of the covers. lol
we know that feeling around here. This year Mary-Claire turned 18, James will be 21 and I (gasp) will be 50! Now Susan's getting broody -
Happy birthday to you and to Ryan. You obviously are a wonderful mother. with my girls 13 and 16 I can literally feel the time go faster and faster in the past few years... truly strange, but we're trying to appreciate every moment :)
Andy: It is so nice to see you here!! Thanks for stopping by.
Eighteen and twenty one are such milestones. Isn't time amazing? The kids keep getting older, but we stay EXACTLY THE SAME!! lol
Fifty, schmifty, it is only a number. You are still that young charmer that swept S. off her feet. I know, because she says so all the time. :)
Margo: Thanks for your kind words. Being a mother is all I ever wanted to be. It has been the best job possible.
It is hard to appreciate every moment. I had a wise friend say to me once, the days can be long but the years go fast. That is especially true when you have little ones, I think! But each age is special.
Oh my, this was such a sweet post :-)
