How can it be that my first baby is 16? That is just impossible to me. It seems like yesterday that he was the baby that NEVER slept. The one that had to be driven around in a car mile after mile just to get him to shut his eyes. The child that slept in one of these so that he could not get out of his crib. (it was for his safety, I promise) Yes, we pushed his head down and quickly zipped him in. But I digress...I love this boy. Cannot even tell you how much. God certainly knew what he was doing when he gave me David. Man, am I blessed. He is a joy to be around, so funny, considerate, sensitive, strong, loves his sister, full of life, shares his feelings...guess he is just about perfect. And I am so proud to be his mom. His life hasn't been a whole lot of fun lately, but I don't hear him complain much. He will take these trying circumstances and be better for it. Wow is some girl gonna be fortunate to get him for her husband.
My prayer is that this year would bring David much joy. Not just happiness, but joy that lasts. I pray that he will open his heart to his dad. That his heart for God will grow. I pray that he does not get sick of driving me around - ha! Oh yea, I finally have a driver in the house again. You didn't think this was all about him, did you?
Love you, David. I'm so glad to be your mom. Happy Birthday!!!!

Hi Sheryl,
This is my first time visiting your blog. I have two "boys" - one is 28 (with 3 {almost 4!} ) kids. My other son is 19 and I have a 13 year old daughter.
Like you, there are days I cannot believe they're all grown up! I pray your boy had a wonderful birthday and that the Lord touches his heart this next year!
Blessings to you.
Hi Sheryl
Your David is very handsome. He sounds like he will be a real catch for the right girl.
Happy Birthday!

Happy Birthday to your boy. It's amazing to think that Anna will one day be driving!!! Your son sounds like such a blessing, and I hope this year is a wonderful one for him. And I did the same thing with my incredibly sleepless baby. Unfortunately, gas prices have gotten so high, I won't be able to drive this next one around:)
May God bless David on his big day!
