Birthday Boy.
The newly turned teenager was living his best life this morning, hanging out with two of his closest friends. It was mostly quiet, except for some sort of male-type communications while they gamed together. The door to the master bedroom opened with an abrupt click, and a loud popping noise announced the arrival of a thousand pieces of confetti shot into the air over their heads, accompanied by a triumphant, manly-man yell from the teenager’s father: “HAPPY BIRTHDAY!” One of William’s friends jumped like someone poked him in his armpit, there was a pause of quiet, and the other friend announced, “You almost gave me a heart attack!” Yep, if you are in this house the morning of our son’s birthday, you best be prepared for some sort of alarming event.
This year, as he moves further into his journey of becoming a man, I find myself searching his face for that little boy who was, literally, just right here walking into my elbows. Now I have to look up to meet his eyes and his giant man feet walk his toes into our furniture. I wonder frequently if his toes will make it successfully into his adulthood.
He is 6′ tall, weighs 136 pounds and wears men’s size 13W shoes.
William loves spending time with his friends and family. He loves vacations, road trips, monster trucks, theme parks, riding his bike and hoverboard, Dave & Buster’s, snuggling with cats and pretty much any animal. He does not, however, like spiders. He loves listening to audiobooks, making videos for his YouTube channel, playing Minecraft and a few other video games and it’s especially special if he can raise his friends to play video games with him.
We love this young man so much and are so thankful he is ours.
Happy 13th birthday to our sweet William.
