January 15th is not just MLK Day...

When most people think of Jan 15th they think..."Martin Luther King's birthday".  Not me.  Jan 15th is the most important day of my life so far.  Jan 15th, 1996 that is.  That day changed the rest of my life.  I was 16 years old and giving birth to my son.  When I first saw him I thought to myself "what in the world am I going to do with him", now 15 years later I look at him and think "what in the world would I do without him".

I swear the last 15 years has flown by.  It seems like yesterday that he was a baby and now my son, Patrick is a freshman in High School.  I love that kid more than anything on this earth (notice I said on this earth, no one comes before my savior but Patrick is running a close second :)    I am so blessed to have him my life.  So Happy Birthday Patrick!  I love you more today than yesterday, but not as much as tomorrow!!!!  We have grown up together and have such a close bond.  You have made me want to be more for you.  You have shown me that there is a such thing as unconditional love.  I am so proud to be your mom.  You are my greatest achievement thus far.  You are growing up to be such a humble young man and I pray that you never change.  Be yourself, never settle, and remember you are loved!
