Birthday Boy

16 REASONS I LOVE THIS CHILD

1.  He is the most amazing big brother

2.  He is so helpful at home, in our business, with his family and friends

3.  He thinks things through

4. He is considerate of others always

5.  He is a dreamer

6.  He wants to be the next Steve Jobs or Bill Gates, what is not to love about an entrepreneur???

7.  He works hard, follows through, keeps his word and goes the extra mile

8.  He is the most handsome 16 year old I have ever met

9.  His birth restored family relationships, not that he was born with this job, he just got to piece of that miraculous healing

10.  His smile is amazing

11.  He makes me laugh no matter what, especially when I need it most

12.  He takes me on dates to Starbucks, and we make the best iced coffees ever, even when some of it winds up on the ceiling.....see number 11

13.  He has been through so much in his short life, losing both your grandmothers, your great grandmother, and your great grandfather, in three years is hard.  However, I know that they are all watching out for him and have their own list of why he is so special

14.  He will still spend time with his boring old mom

15.  He loves his family

16.  Every once in awhile, he will crawl into bed with me and twirl my hair just like he has been doing since he was a baby, which reminds us both that no matter where he goes in life, I will always be there to listen, to talk to, to cry with, to laugh with, and to celebrate with.

YOU ARE AN AMAZING YOUNG MAN, SOMEONE I AM SO PROUD OF, NO MATTER WHERE YOU GO IN LIFE OR WHAT YOU PURSUE, I WILL ALWAYS BE PROUD TO CALL YOU SON!  I love you Brandyn, Happy Birthday!
