The Birthday Lad

Happy birthday, BRENDAN MICHAEL!! Seventeen years ago today at 12:20pm weighing 7 pounds, 3 ounces this most awesome person entered our lives. He is all that is pure and good. That I was chosen to be this boy's mother is something I don't take lightly. With his quiet humility and seeming simplicity, he has taught me patience and gratitude among a myriad of life's lessons. His life is one of challenge, yet he manages to smile that smile that makes the rest of the world all but disappear. I am most grateful for the wonderful gift of this precious child.
