Today is the last day Matt will be in his teens.
A young man.
A young adult.
My Boy.
On Saturday, there will be no TEEN in his age.
He’ll be home for Spring Break, acting like a kid. But the changes are evident.
I sent a tall, disciplined, responsible BOY to college and Navy ROTC.
Matt.2 is coming home.
He stands taller. Has more discipline. Is more responsible.
And still my Boy.

happy Birthday Mom,
I say birthdays are for Moms.
When is our Moms Birthday?
Happy Birthday Matt! I’m with your mom. Although you are a young man, in my mind’s eye you will always be that sweet 4-year-old ring bearer who didn’t want his picture taken. Sigh….birthdays are for moms: equal parts pride and a fleeting sadness that time passes soooo quickly. Happy birthday Matt!!!
