Happy Birthday, Alex!

Today my son turns 14! 

Alex is an amazing young man; I am so very proud to be his mother! Hard to believe he was just an idea, that there was a time when he was not on this earth. But like all children, he teaches me on a daily basis how to be a better person. Deep brown eyes, joyous smile, more energy than our house can contain. Basketball is is girlfriend--thank goodness. I, for one, am glad that girls are not yet in the picture, and that his sister is his best friend. It's been a difficult year, but we're in a better place, and Alex is thriving.

How lucky am I to share this brilliant human being with the world. How lucky am I!
