Nine years old?? Say it ain't so!!
Our first born is getting up there
and
I'm not all that sure I like it.
BUT what I do like, what I love...is who he is becoming.
Our Jack is...
a good buddy with an easy, big toothed smile,
a silly soul with bright, lovin' life eyes,
a tenderhearted son who hugs straight from his toes.
He is a student who also loves to teach.
He is a brother who provokes, but also protects.
He is an adventurer
who still needs to sleep right in between mom and dad,
every once in a while.
He is confidence in a camouflaged shirt.
He is imagination in stinky tennis shoes.
He is happiness to me and all who know him.
Our Jack is...
a dream come true.
Happy 9th Birthday, buddy.
Happy 9th Birthday, buddy.
