My son and his friends are here tonight celebrating his 12th Birthday. Chandler, Derek and Alex are his three best friends. All of them huddled together in the living room playing Call of Duty.
My little apartment is not used to such activity and boys running around. I love it. My only regret is that I have to ask them to quiet down because we might disturb the neighbors. I wished I could just let them get crazy and live it up. They are good kids though and don't need to be reminded too much really.
Its nice to see Jake with his friends. I feel guilty quite a bit that he is an only child. He doesn't have the benifit of a brother or sister to distract him when he is bored at home. Its just his 'boring' Mom. I try to be fun and not be a Debbi Downer but, obviously, I can't be 12 year old boy!!
It's hard to believe where 12 years has gone. It seems like just yesterday I was kissing his little baby feet while he swung on his baby swing. But, whether I like it or not, he is growing up. It's an honor to watch him grow. My prayers go out to his happiness and that he finds meaning in his life. He is such a good, sweet, talented kid. I know God has plans for him. I can only pray he finds his path.
I just love him so much, more than words can express.
