Happy Birthday A !!!

Friday, March 18/16

Today marks the 18th birthday for an amazing young man I was fortunate enough to meet through his mother :)

I know this message won't be seen by him but I'm a firm believer in internet karma and think somehow he'll know good thoughts are going his way through the airwaves.

A~

Today marks the beginning of what is generally accepted as the start of manhood.

For you and your little brother this actually started along time ago as you grew up in a family that is heavily involved in community that saw the absence of both your parents at one time or another due to commitments around the globe.

I'm sure both of them couldn't be prouder of the man you've become, especially your mother as I can't tell you how much her eyes light up whenever the talk turned to her wonderful sons.

This fall you start university and while it means moving away from home I know you are more than ready for this next adventure and will face it head on and come out all the better for it.

I can honestly say I enjoyed getting to know you and think the world is yours for the taking.

Every time I forgot to use my turn signal or do so late I think of you telling your mom how hard it was to follow me that long weekend in September and instantly turn it on :-)

Hopefully today is as great as the young man celebrating his birthday.

Happy Birthday and hope this greeting is just the first of many more to come today.

P.S. try and keep the drifting down to a minimum ok lol
