My Son's 11th Birthday

My son Alex turned 11 years old today. I look at him not quite believing in the length of time that is left in our wake. How fast it has gone. I am reminded of the oldies song "Turn Around" which talks of the quickness with which our children grow up:

Turn around and you're two, turn around and you're four
Turn around and you're a young girl going out of my door

The song speaks of a little girl but it also applies to little boys. Alex is not so little anymore. He is growing into a fine young man. I am grateful and proud of that fact.

And while I miss the joy of his younger years, these have been the most rewarding and, yes, fun.

Happy Birthday, Alex.

Love,

Dad
