CELEBRATING 11 YEARS WITH BEN-THE-BUNNY



Me & sweet Ben

 I couldn't let too many days go by (okay, it's just been one) before I acknowledged the sweetest boy I've ever had the pleasure of knowing had his 11th birthday yesterday.

I can honestly say he has all the characteristics I hope to have when I "grow up". He is on his way to being a great man. A great person.

He has my back always. Wants to be "the man of the house" and is constantly reminded what I need is for him to be my son. To do things young men his age do. And THAT will make me happy.

He has the rest of his life to be "the man". And I have NO DOUBT he will.

He gets his actions have consequences. He always wants to help the underdog. He's gracious, but stands his ground when he needs to do so. He always wants to help and for as long as I can remember, has been a people-pleaser. He wants everyone to be happy.

I'm so incredibly proud to be this young man's mom and he deserves nothing but the best in this world. So for as long as I can, I will do my best to make sure he has it and nothing less.

I love you with everything I am and could possibly hope to be, son. You have made me so proud and continue to do so everyday. I hope when you look back on this time of your life, you will see I tried to do the same for you.

Happy 11th Birthday, Ben! I love you more (don't say it's not possible, because IT IS!).
Mom
