So my Drew turned 18 yesterday. A strange day for many reasons. Tanner was out of town at a school function and I had to be at work at 6:30 in the morning for an event. So my now-adult son woke up to an empty house. And to add insult to injury, he’d been really, really sick all week. But you know what’s the best part of having to delay your birthday? You get a totally extended celebration! Birthday cake for breakfast and a nice birthday dinner are on tap after his brother gets home this weekend. But this birthday deserves some special attention. To be honest, I can’t believe he’s grown up so quickly. It breaks my heart just the tiniest bit. But I look at the sweet little boy from way back then to the strong, confident young man he is now and I’m so proud. Little guy, big guy, he’s one of the best people I know. Love and blessings to my wonderful boy.
