#358/365--Eleventh and Birthday



...Eleven = Kevin!!

and coffee!
...good stuff!!

But also
...this day...
amidst this
...scavenger hunt of sorts...
that my kids have me on
to give me
12 days of Christmas
I give pause to reflect
...back to 16 years ago...
when I was given
one
of
the two
best
gifts
of my life
...my Christmas Eve baby...
can you believe
he
is
SIXTEEN?
He's gonna drive soon
(as soon as he finishes Driver's Ed)
and then
he's gonna get a job
and then
he's gonna finish high school
geez
where did my baby go?
My
lego
Star Wars
baseball
Wild Thing!

My little bit
who used to
think he could
pick me up
who can now
actually
pick me up

I love this kid.
He's growing into
such a
handsome
responsible
kind-hearted
young man
and
time
just goes by too fast.
I'm so proud
and yet
...as usual...
melancholy

Happy birthday
to
my
Michael
I love you, kiddo!
