I'm so grateful Brindsley enjoyed the poem. He said, "Mom you're good at writing birthday poems." HA! It made my day.

Now that would have been a great day for her! This way without them in there, she didn't have to be disappointed at all if the outcome wasn't exactly what she wanted! Cheers to her. XO Tracy

Thank you Tracy. Brindsley had a fantastic day. How amazing would it have been if the BILLS were in the Super bowl! We would have loved it.

Your poem made me remember my boy at 11--such a great age. He loved legos too. Hard to believe that almost 27 years have passed since then. Time races by like a landscape seen from a speeding car. Sometimes you wish you could just press the stop button to hug that beautiful child before they morph into their next self. That's why it's good to cherish every age they are--and to write about it as you do. Happy 11th to Brindsley! He's adorable.

Hi Ruth, Oh you are so sweet and I'm nodding how fast the speeding car is moving....where is the pause button! Oh thank you so much for the birthday wishes for Brindsley. He had a fantastic day. I'm happy it brought a wonderful memory for you and your boy.

Truth blooms. Fills the rooms.

Denotes a day. Of celebration. Of life.

Love from one. For another.

Poetic words. From Brindsley’s Mother.

True love expressed. Like no other.

If your love and joy weren’t the sprinkles on every word you wrote today, there are no other words.
