Today is my son Geoff's 24th birthday. I don't know why I always want to go back and look at baby pictures, maybe it's to remind me the kids really were that small!
I must say I miss - at times - being the 'snack queen, the entertainment guide and referee'. Children and puppies, what could be better? Like most younger siblings, pictures without the others' are almost non existent.
By God's grace and mercy over the times I failed miserably at being 'mom', he has grown to be a fine young man. A kind, considerate and patient man whose precious girlfriend Mary is a jewel of a young woman.
Happy Birthday Geoff...we love you!

happy birthday to both of you!!!!

ReplyDeleteRenee, they grow up so fast. Hope you had some special time with your son.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh this made me cry. My son turns 19 tomorrow and is coming home from school in Florida in a few hours...a long day of travel...I miss being the snack queen too. But I lost 9 lbs since he went to school.
ReplyDeleteHappy Thanksgiving, Renae.

Renae,
ReplyDeleteI totally get it!!! When my son was home this past weekend I actually said to him "I wish I could snap my fingers and make you 5 again!" It's not that I don't love the young man he has become, but I miss him being small especially around the holidays!

Oh Renae,
ReplyDeleteThis just makes my heart sing. I know what those boys mean to you. They are so lucky to have you as their mom. I'd say you've done a wonderful job...
Happy birthday dear Geoff!
