Dear Reader,
Please forgive me for not posting today. You see, it is a special day in my life and I just need to stop and savor the moment before it is gone.
Today, my youngest, Max, is turning 18. I could say that the years passed quickly and that he grew into a man in the blink of an eye, which is all true. But that would be denying all the incredible love, joy, marvel, fear and frustrations that brought us to this moment.
Yes, raising a boy into a man is not easy, but it has been one of the most wonderful challenges of my life.
My youngest, my little blond toddler, is today the tallest member of this family. He has safely navigated through his high school years and has found a passion that he pursues with admirable dedication. Though he sees the world differently than me, I have to smile when our cameras point at the same object. Somehow, like me, he finds beauty in the strangest places.
I am so proud of him. And though I do miss that little boy, I am excited to see what Max, the man, will do with his life. Whatever it is, he will always be able to count on my love and support.
Happy Birthday, my son!
