Happy Birthday Son

It seems just yesterday I held my son in my arms for the first time. I will never forget that day. Today he is twenty years old. How quickly the years flew by.

In my mind's eye I see your face and all the good times flash in my mind's eye. You are not a little boy any more.

Happy Birthday Son!

I am so proud of the man you are fast becoming. You are noble, kind and wise. You are persistent and strong. I thank the Lord for you, my Son.

A Valentine for Mother

This lovely old Valentine's Day Card must have been very precious to Grammie Jenny. She kept this card from her son, Lawrence, in a special place with other cards and notes she treasured.

How grateful I am for our lovely Grandmother. I'm so glad she saved these wonderful old cards. I miss the days we shared when I had the privilege of living in her basement as a young woman. I learned so much from her.

Happy Graduation, Son!

This card is from a collection my sister Clytie gave to me for my birthday! I love this artist's work. The children in these paintings have so much personality! This artist inspires me, as does the young man who is graduating today.

I'm posting this card to honor my son. Today he walks across the stage to accept his diploma. He has worked so hard to get to this point, and it has not been easy for him. I am VERY proud to be his Mom.

Seems just yesterday he was a chubby newborn, with such sparkling eyes and that ready grin. He still has the sparkle and the grin!

But that tiny boy I held in my arms now towers over me at six foot four! What a wonderful young man he is. What possibilities he holds in his hands, with his whole life stretched out in front of him.
