Happy 13th Birthday, Big Guy

 How do I put into words the love that I have for you?

The talent, the gifts, the pure fingerprints of God upon your life that I see each and every day?

I consider it a gift and a joy to be your Mom.
Happy 13th Birthday, Big Guy!

I hope the words to this song below let you know how I feel.
Mom

It's only for a moment you are mine to hold

The plans that heaven has for you

Will all too soon unfold

So many different prayers I'll pray

For all that you might do

But most of all I'll want to know

You're walking in the truth

And If I never told you

I want you to know

As I watch you grow

I pray that God would fill your heart with dreams

And that faith gives you the courage

To dare to do great things

I'm here for you whatever this life brings

So let my love give you roots

And help you find your wings

May passion be the wind

That leads you through your days

And may conviction keep you strong

Guide you on your way

May there be many moments

That make your life so sweet

Oh, but more than memories

It's not living if you don't reach for the sky

I'll have tears as you take off

But I'll cheer as you fly

("Find Your Wings" by Mark Harris)
