Well today is my son John's 24th birthday. It seems as though only yesterday he was born.
I called him this morning as soon as I got up. He was up already because he was working early this morning. I sang him Happy Birthday over the phone. And I can imagine the rolling of the eyes. BUT I srill sang in my off keyed voice. He told me that his girldfriend and I were the only ones who wished him Happy Birthday. (He lives with his father along with his sister and brother...he will be moving soon though). I got tears in my eyes because that made me feel so sad inside. Of course I would never forget his birthday..I am his mom and hell I was there 24 years ago today.
After I hung up with him I called randomly till his birth hour was here and reminded him it was his birthday and I was (this many minutes) till he was born.
On one of my random calls he asked me what I was doing today. It was my day off from work. He said he had to come out my way (he lives a little distance from me), to pick something up for his father. He asked me if I wanted to do lunch with him and Jamie (his girlfriend). I told him I couldn't becauase I didn't have any money. But I told him to come over anyway.
Well quite a while went by and I didn't think he was coming over...that happens many times they say they are coming and there is no show. So I took a nap on the couch. And about 3:10 he knocked on the door. 7 minutes before he was born!...It was the first time since he moved out that I could share is BIRTH DAY with him. I was so very happy!
We (John, Jamie and I) sat in the kitchen at the table and chatted for about an hour. I was such a good afternoon.
I love my son with all my heart. I almost lost him when he was 3 weeks old. He had meningitis. He is my oldest and middle child. He has such a talent in music, He plays the guitar, and keyboard. He writes some of his own music. I love him so much...I think I said that already.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!!~LOVE MOM
