Happy birthday to my oldest, missionary son. You hear it all the time, but it is so true... it seems like yesterday. He is affectionate, handsome, a leader. Always has been. I like him. I miss him. I love him.

I love him too! What a great kid. (Now man.) Can't believe he's already in the home-stretch.

Eight more weeks. I am already looking for student housing for him. :)

What happened to that tenacious little wolf cub that used to so impress me at den meetings? I truly am proud to know him, and his mom.

Wow-I just read your comment: 8 more weeks! I always loved it when my brother's came home. Good luck with the housing:)

Made me sniffle. Tender.

What a wonderful thing to like your child as well as love him! Eight more weeks - how exciting!

Aw, no wonder you got a teary-eyed. I'm pretty convinced that motherhood dooms a woman to being an emotional crisis for all time.
