You are my number one son,
my first child.
My heart is breaking.
Is this totally abstract?
I think so, too.
and I thought Z turning ONE was hard...I'm glad 19 is a ways off!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your son. I don't have any kids of my own, but I can only imagine how hard it is to let them go out into life on their own. My thoughts are with you during this time.
ReplyDeleteEeek! Only two more days? I would be freaking out a little too.
ReplyDeleteTell your son Happy Birthday and good luck in basic training.
Aw, that makes me so sad :( I hate when they grow up. My kids are still little, but they are just growing too fast.
ReplyDeleteI just can't even imagine! Wow. What a milestone!
