Nineteen years ago this morning, my oldest child was born. I can't believe how the time has flown by. He should still be in diapers, still stumbling over phonics, still trying to catch that first fish... Where has the time gone?
I look at him now and marvel at the man he has become. He has a job, a car, a beard!! My baby is in college!!! I worry that I haven't taught him all I should. Is he properly prepared for college? For manhood? For a wife?
I know he will be fine. He is a follower of Jesus and that's all that really matters. He doesn't wake up when I want him to, he isn't around as much as I'd like, and some of his friends are questionable but he is a man with his own ideas and most of them are good!
Today we will celebrate Clinton. His siblings will honor him by doing his chores, cooking his favorite desserts, showering love on him. I will cook heart-shaped pancakes and try not to nag. Clint will take him out to eat and then probably stop by Best Buy...
He is a man but he'll always be my baby. As I stated in an earlier blog entry, Time Passages, I miss my precious baby but I'm so happy to meet the man!
Happy Birthday Sweetie!
