Twenty-two wonderful years ago, my life became beyond blessed when Alex was born. He is such an incredible son.
It’s hard to believe that 22 years have passed by since I gave birth to this little bundle of awesomeness at Annapolis Hospital. Every day is such an adventure in fun, love, and happiness. Even when things are tough, money is tight, and things don’t always go how I need or expect them to, I know I have the love of my son. He can make me laugh like no one else can.
Alex, this past year has not been the most earth-shattering in terms excitement, but it’s been monumental nonetheless….last month, in May, you graduated from COLLEGE (University of Maine at Farmington) with a Major in Computer Science and a Minor in Math. That’s soooooooo incredible!! I’m so proud of you; not only for getting the two degrees, but for not giving up on the Math Minor this past semester when it seemed it was going to be impossible to obtain it. Yet, as with everything else in your life, you persevered and passed. You are one of the most stubborn people I know and because of that attitude you never give up.
You make my life so happy; I can’t begin to tell you how honored, blessed, and humbly thankful to God I am to be your mother. I know you are not one to be overly or outwardly demonstrative with your emotions or hugs, but I know how much you love me. I never doubt that for a minute. I wouldn’t change who you are for anything or anyone in the world. To change you would be to lose a part of me; you are perfect to me. I am so, so, so, so thankful to call you my son.
Happy birthday, baby boy. I love you.
Love, love, love, Mom.
