Tomorrow my son will be 17 years old.  My youngest child.  My baby.

O. M. G.

How can this be?  I swear it wasn’t that long ago I was pregnant with him!  I woke up one morning feeling all huge and cranky and impatient and just minutes later my water broke and that’s when I first knew that my child’s birthday would be May 22.

I have enjoyed each of the 6,209 days since Kevin was born.  149,022 hours.  8,941,320 minutes.  Okay, maybe I didn’t actually enjoy all of those minutes.  I can safely round it off to 8,941,000 though.  He’s only given me maybe 300 minutes of trouble or worry in his whole entire life - and 290 of ‘em were back in 2001 when he was hit by a car.

I am so incredibly grateful for having this wonderful person in my life.

    Every son needs a mommy who can speak with such loving words. He is one lucky guy! Happy Birthday to your son and congrats to you on doing such a great job being his mom! :-D

    Your DS has a birthday on the same day as my DS (turns 3). I hope that your DS has a wonderful birthday! :)
    I love the hair in the photo of him wearing a journey shirt. Too funny! LOL

    AWWWWW!!! I love the pictures, I swear all teens like the “different” hair. My brother is 17 and sports a “jewfro” cuz he’s got curly hair and it’s huge lol.
