Christopher darling, twenty-two years ago, on a windy March evening, you came to be. From the moment you were born, you took my breath away. I knew then God had sent me a blessing. For you, I thank Him everyday, you are precious in every way.
I love you for so many reasons. Here are twenty two of them ...
For the man you turned out to be
For your love of family
For the way you care and love your sister
For treating your grandpa in the kind way you do
For your loyalty to friends
For the respect you have towards others
For your sense of humour
For all your accomplishments
For your desire to succeed
For your honesty
For your contagious smile
For giving so much and asking for so little
For always being there to lend a helping hand
For dreaming big
For never quitting
For the way your face lights up at the mention of food
For your desire to help the less fortunate
For looking at life with colour glasses
For wanting to improve the world
For your generosity
For your gentleness and yet for your strength
For rising each morning with a smile on your face

Happy Birthday to your sweet son!!!
Aren't sons so special to their Mummy's?????
My son is so special to me, he is 24, and I adore him!!!!
he makes me Proud everyday!!!!
My 2 daughters are gems as well, but Mom's and sons share a special love affair that a daughter does not fill!!!! It is so weird to explain to people who have no sons!!! Like a daughter to someone who has no daughters!!!! But easier to understand then no sons, right????
Have a very special time with your son and kiss him lots for he is Mummy's little boy always!!!!!
I always enjoy your letters, they make me smile!!!!!!
hugs to you sweet friend,
jamie
