Tomorrow is J's 22nd birthday... it will also be the first birthday in his 22 years that he is not here. I will not get to sing happy birthday in the morning, I will not get to have a birthday dinner, and I will not get to hug his sweet neck and tell him I love him. But...while I am here, he is out living life to the fullest and this makes my heart happy! I could not be more proud of the loving man, brother, cousin, grandson and son he has become. His free spirit is something I admire, and his love for others is contagious. He is getting to wake up on his 22nd birthday living out his dreams!
Not only is tomorrow J's birthday, it is also my nephew B's birthday. I could not imagine not having this sweet boy in my life - I love him like he is one of my own. J & B have been partners in crime for their whole lives,and not only are they cousins... they are friends! B is living out his own dream of a music career, and I can assure you I will be there cheering him on every step of the way, and will always be his #1 fan.
These boys not only changed my life, they have changed the lives of others while proudly displaying their love for their family, friends and God. Happy Birthday to you both!!
