I went out to see the baby and he is a man now, and I can’t believe it. He is really doing it and he has a spine of steel. Please make sure you are watching over him. I pray for him everyday. He is doing good and figuring it out.
The other kids are all high schoolers now, when did that happen??? They are all doing well too. Mommy is getting old and tomorrow is your birthday but you’re not getting any older, and those things are hard.
I love and miss you always!
Happy birthday in heaven!
