The Days are Long, but the Years are Short

17 years ago today I became a Mama for the very first time. At 10:09 am, this 8lb 14 ounce, 21.5 inches long baby boy stole my heart. He was everything I had hoped and prayed for. He was perfect in every way.

It was not an easy entrance. My water broke at 5:30am on December 1st and he arrived via c-section on December 2nd. It was rough, but one look into his eyes and I melted.

It has been a busy few months for my boy. He passed his driver’s test and started his first job at a local hardware store. He has grown into a kind and funny young man. He has a passion for sports and, with this brother, could have their own sports talk show. Each and every day he makes me proud to be his Mom. I am excited (and anxious!) to see what the next couple of years will bring. Happy Birthday Robbie Rob. Mama loves you to Infinite and Beyond!
