Happy Birthday, Paul!

Well, as I see this day, it's not another day...it's my sons birthday! Wow, 27 years old! I feel like I am just a few years older than he. O.K., I fib; just a little..my mind feels like I am, but my body differs with that one.

When I think of Paul and how very blessed we are to have him, I think of all the accomplishments he has done in his life.

Being born was one, as he was not really ready to come out and venture to new and good things on this earth. There he was, feeling all comfy and cozy while I carried him for more than the nine months. What a big boy he was....all, 9 lbs and 21 inches. Full head of hair (blonde) and cute as can be!!! The nurses thought he needed a, "New Doo", so they combed his hair, making him look like a cute little baby girl...NOT! I remember Paul being elementary age and telling his friend that, " my mom had me and "POOF" I was born...another NOT!! I was in labor for 21 hours and then a C-section; I don't think that was a ,"POOF!"

The years rolled by, so quickly for me, anyway. Elementary school was a breeze for Paul. Middle School was another thing, with bullies and all; he came out of those years...he came out with good grades and accomplished that! We all agreed it was time for Paul to go to a private school and so Monte Vista Christian, in Watsonville, was the place he finished his final high school years. He met many friends and with these days, spends lots of time with and remains close with. Paul went off to college and I do have to say, that was very hard for me, not to mention his dad. He finished and got his degree...an accompishment, we are both very proud of him for doing!

We all have things in our lives, that are hard to deal with, at times, and our Paul had his. But, with family and friends near by, we have seen another accomplishment, for him; he is doing well and we are so very proud of him.

So, with this day, being, "Paul's Day," his dad and I want to wish him the best ever.
We love you Paul and have a great day!!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, PAUL!

We love you!
Your Mom and Dad

I wouldn't be where I am (both literally & figuratively) without you two...Thank you for all that you do for me...When it comes to parents, I think the best thing for me to do is steal a line from Al Green--"I'm so glad you're mine..." Love you two...PA
