Tomorrow my son is 26 years old..my wonderful second born son Nick. He does not like me going on about him, but sometimes on their birthdays, the kids let me blather a little bit--just a little bit. I am so grateful for this boy, who came into my life two days before I turned 24...I was still in the hospital with him, on my birthday, and I remember thinking that he was the most precious gift I could ever have hoped for.
Growing up, he loved spiders and snakes and the stars and the planets and clocks. He told me he never wanted to leave me, or his house, or his bedroom. As a young mom, it is so sweet to hear, even though I know he WOULD leave me, and his house, and his bedroom!
He has had the same best friend all his life. He is a faithful friend, son, brother, grandson, husband...devoted and loyal. He is long suffering, patient, and kind, so very kind.
I celebrate my son, and his 26 years! I thank God for the gift he is to me! He was born at 2:10 am, right on his due date, June 14--and he is a timely young man even now! My precious son, Nicholas! I love you!
