Year 1 - You arrived when I wasn't ready but I KNEW you'd be a boy.
Year 2 - Your personality emerged, a jokester, so funny and coy
Year 3 - You got the ability to concentrate on any task at hand
Year 4 - You got quieter and more serious, a real little man
Year 5 - This is when you loved to play and cover yourself in dirt
Year 6 - You were fearless, tried new things, even if you'd get hurt
Year 7 - You started Karate, excelled and kicked butt
Year 8 - Your first girlfriend, straight A's again, and named your first mutt
Year 9 - Skateboard competitions, plenty of awards and medals
Year 10 - Still a heartbreaker but your feet were slipping off the pedals
Years 11, 12, 13 - you were lost and so was I
Year 14 - You overcame all odds, made me proud enough to cry
Year 15 - Today we just sat and had dinner together, now I know we can make it through the WORST kind of weather.

Dedicated to my son who's my hero. This kid is beyond his years.

Year 1 - You arrived when I wasn't ready but I KNEW you'd be a boy.
Year 2 - You were the cutest little todler whom I so much enjoyed
Year 3 - We went thru sum ruff times without your father
Year 4 - You started school, being a single mommy got so much harder
Year 5 - You amaze me by all the things you see and learn
Year 6 - Everybody loves you, a pride that I earned.

Dedicated to my baby Nigel, my savior and my best friend
