Happy Birthday Inch

Well there is a time in every parents life when they realize that their little boy/girl is becoming a man/woman. Inch is now 16 years old and gone is that little boy who we held in our arms. Inch has become a mature young adult.

He has shown us that he has wisdom beyond his years. We actually find ourselves asking his opinions on important family decisions. His advice is almost never rash but for the most part well thought out and articulate. It is hard to believe that he will be leaving our house and forging his own path out into this world.

I hope that the world is ready for this young man. He will be a challenge to all that he meets. I mean this in a good way, to often people are satisfied with the "status quo" without questioning why things are the way they are. Inch has never been happy with the standard "just because" answers to his why. This has challenged to grow as parents and as Catholics. He dreams of being a Theology Professor some day and I don't doubt for a minute that he will be one someday.

Happy Birthday Young man we thank God for your health and for you being you.

Love Mom, Dad, "U", Mystical Rose, and GMAC
