My oldest is now a Teenager.
What a fine young man he has become.
His SPECIAL day went something like this (poor kid)-
Wake up at 4:00am to throw up.
Continue throwing up every 20 or so minutes
until there is nothing left inside.
Go back to sleep at about 5:30am.
Breakfast with Dad-CANCELED because of the throwing up.
School-NO WAY, not in this condition.
Instead, sleep and relax most of the day.
Late Lunch with mom to get a Jamba Juice.
He keeps it down - YAY.
After school a friend comes over to see why he didn't go to school
and "hangs out" with the Birthday Boy for a while.
He helps his younger brother build a Lego.
Dinner - a couple slices of Pizza.
8:15pm - his yearly interview with the Bishop.
Back home for a small bowl of his favorite ice cream,
and Happy Birthday sung in Spanish-
per his request.
Unfortunately, not much of a birthday celebration,
welcoming him into the TEEN years.
Nonetheless,
Happy Birthday
I'm the lucky one because I got to spend the whole day with you.
Just like 13 years ago.
