Happy Birthday to my beautiful son. He is the best thing I have ever done, although I take no credit for his amazing capacities and talents. He is his own person; I just ate well while he was growing inside me, and then made sure I fed him good food, gave him as many opportunities as I could afford, or could imagine, and taught him to appreciate reading, which he now loves. His cognitive intelligence exceeded mine when he was about twelve, but my emotional intelligence stills beats his – hah!
He is bound to fare better in his life than I did in mine, and that is the best a parent can ask for. I love you, my dear boy/man.

Making A Way 
A mother’s love is the best gift to have given your son….Diane
Thanks so much, Diane! I got to see my son today, and it was lovely. I miss him far more than he misses me, but that’s a parent’s burden, right?! 🙂 Cheers! Jerri
What a lovely picture. May you both be blessed with many more wonderful years to come. 🙂
Thank you so much! I appreciate you reading and commenting. 🙂 Cheers! Jerri
What a beautiful young man. The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, does it?
Thank you Brenda! Yes, you can definitely tell he’s my child! 🙂 Jerri
A fine looking young man and mother (one who probably gives herself far less credit than she deserves).
Well, thank you, Al! I appreciate the ups. 🙂 Jerri
