Today,August 25th, is Seth's 14th birthday.
The words finally came...
The making of a man..
I have an idea that all that you are was there from the beginning,
built into your character before you were even born
I only have given you room to grow into what you will be
I have nurtered you as only a Mother can
In my womb
At my breast
With a million kisses to the top of your head
I've encouraged you to be, to think, to live, to enjoy
and you have grown into what I've known you would be,
kind and gentle, caring and understanding,
strong of mind and will, determined and capable
your strength of character tells me that you will be a man to be reckoned with, a man to be respected, a man who will know how to love
Right now you are still mine to hold, to hug, to kiss,
Soon you will give your heart to another
as it should be
I will continue to hold you close to my heart, where you will always be

Happy birthday, Seth!
(It's funny; I woke up today knowing it was someone's birthday; I just couldn't remember who...)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY Seth!!!!!!
Happy birthday Seth!
Beautiful post A!!
An amazing feat, the alchemy of a man coming from the body of a woman.
It has been a joy and wonder to watch the children babies I have loved grow to be adults, and now men, women, fathers and mothers.
To go from talking about puppies to career plans. To be a PART of someone's life.
Your joy of actually creating that life must be beyond comprehension.
Happy Birthday to Seth, and A day of Joy to You!
Happy belated birthday Seth - sounds like your mom is pretty pleased with you!
