My biggest boy is 12 today!!!
I can't believe it! He is growing up so fast. My big boy is growing into such a gentleman, he is very considerate, and we are so proud of the young man he is and is becoming, as we are all of our children.
Our family has some little birthday traditions.
The day before, our close family always text or email each other to say "whose birthday is it tomorrow!!!????"
Small, but funny, when Nana posts it at 12.05am!!
The children always know they are going to get a rendition of their birth story too, periodically through the day. "This time x years ago...." is our birthday tradition, and the kids even ask me now, if i'm not quick enough!!
It's amazing how these little traditions grow with the family, how words get adopted for general use, and how comforting collective memories are. Ask my children what happened when they were born, and they can tell you, even though they cannot remember themselves.
This is what family is all about!
Thank you Lord x
