Over the next few days, I'm planning to share your birth story. I don't have much time today. I'm taking your sister to her college orientation, like you and I went, just 5 short years ago.
How did we get from here:
to here:
running to here:
biking to there:
zooming past 6th grade to here:
Ooops, I mean here as Uncle Chris:
and landing here:
and staying here:
I'm out of time, but I want you to know how proud I am of you son. You have one terrific future wife and she has an amazing soon-to-be husband. May this birthday find you radiating with the knowledge of how very much you are loved. I appreciate your thoughtfulness, your kindness, your work ethic, the way you encourage everyone around you, and your positive attitude. I could go on about your many good qualities, but I gotta run. Happy 24th Birthday Christopher. Love, Mom

Happy birthday! What a cutie -- then and now. And SUCH a sweet picture of his birth. Sniff!! My oldest is almost 21 -- I can't imagine him getting married, but I know it's coming fast!
Mom, thank you so much. This post is incredibly meaningful, thank you.
Happy Birthday! Sniffle.
He is VERY handsome and it shows how much you adore him! You are a cutie pie too and look waaaay to young to have a 24 year old son! Happy Birthday to your sweet son!
Take care and have a good weekend. Kellan
Happy happy birthday to your son. Sounds like an amazing man
Lovely tribute! Happy birthday Christopher! And thanks for your comments at Bits and Pieces. I love the spiritual application to my overgrown hostas! Thanks for stopping by.
so so so so so sweet
two shallow observations:
-your family is really exceptionally beautiful
-how have you not aged at all?
Happy belated birthday, Christopher! I think you have that same dazzling smile in every picture I've seen of you!
You made me misty. I can't imagine having mine all grown up, yet I know it'll seem like the jump to 24 from 16 will take about a blink. I hope he had a happy birthday.
