To my very handsome and intelligent son. Happy Birthday!!!! I am so very proud of you. Not just today but from 18 August 1986 @1036pm when i first heard you cry. from the times when i would fall asleep with you laying on my back, mom would wake me up and tell me not to roll over for fear i would crush you. From the the time you would fall asleep in your swing set holding your stuffed frog. From the times you first started walking and you would follow me around the house humming. From the time you took my credit card and ordered pizza for 6 months without me knowing. You always made me smile. My baby has grown and is growing to be a better man than me. Here we are now 27 years later and you still make me smile. I love you son and happy birthday.

HAHAHA! Oh…dad…you could’ve stopped at following you around the house humming, but you didn’t. And I love you for it. I truly do appreciate the sentiment. I’ll never forget it.

He really is quite awesome when he wants to be.
