It's finally here!
You are 16!
I remember so well the day your were born! It was a cold winter day and you arrived a little after Noon. Once you were born your dad and sisters left the hospital to get something to eat at Crown Burgers and then headed to a Utah basketball game. There we were, just you and me in the hospital, celebrating your arrival. It was one of the best days I can remember.
I am not quite sure what to think about your 16th birthday because that means you are just that much closer to independence from me and your dad. You are a good boy and smart and good looking, too. You make us happy and keep us busy. You have passed your driving test and are just waiting until then end of the semester to get your permit to get you license. You are a sports junkie and yet you study hard and get the best grades ever. You go to church and do most everything you are asked to do. As tall and strong as you are, you still like to sit on my lap for a big hug and hope that I can rock you to sleep. That doesn't last long, however, because I get close to passing out, and you move to another spot.
Your birthday will be spent doing what you like most of all -- playing basketball! And, I think we can add some pizza and cake and ice cream to the day when the Hunter Wolverines walk away with 3 wins!
Happy Birthday to YOU!
