The top photo of your (now!) teenage son is poignant for me. My first child, and only son, is 40years old and those carefree days are long gone for him (& me!). I still can picture them,like yesterday, in my mind though. Thanks for the memories! Happy SSS.
ReplyDeleteFantastic array of photos shared. And, happy, happy birthday to the birthday boy...tho, I'm sure it's a belated wish.
