Happy 14th Birthday Michael

Wow, where has the time gone. I can't believe our oldest is 14 years old today. It really makes my heart sad that he is growing so fast. My sweet Michael. He makes us laugh and laugh and laugh. You never know what is going to come out of his mouth. He is probably one of the funniest people I know (besides me, of course!). He looks like his daddy but has a lot of mommy's personality. I think that's a wonderful blend of a person.

Michael is so tender-hearted and has such kindness in him. I hope that never changes. He has such confidence in himself, he doesn't care what people think of him. He stays who he is...a lovely boy who is a mix of silliness, seriousness, caring, loving, tender, kind, smart, handsome and cheerful.

I love that he still gives us kisses and hugs and will let me snuggle with him. I love his laugh and I love it when he tries to be all brave and serious with his dad just to crumble in laughter. Oh how my heart aches when I think in just a few short years he will be venturing out into this world alone. I know he's going to be a wonderful man and contribute something amazing to the world...he already does.

Happy Birthday Michael, you are such a blessing to us and anyone else's life you touch.
