We love you Ryan! I can't believe my Baby is 16!!! I miss you being this little but love watching you grow. I miss the way you wrinkled your nose out of shyness when people talked to you but love seeing how you can walk up to anyone now and carry on a conversation. I miss the way you had to warm up to us in the morning when you first woke up. I miss the way you would get mad and ask "what are you looking at" when you felt we were staring at you too long. You have come a long way from being shy. You are developing in to such a man. I love the relationship that we have. I love our long talks and will always cherish our " two hour talk in the van" I love the way you come and sit next to me on the couch just so we can talk. I miss looking down at you when now I have to look up but then I get a since of pride at the man you are becoming. You have brought me so many tears of joy and even some tears of sorrow. I love you and have always been so proud to say "That's my boy"! Happy Birthday! I am praying for you ALWAYS and that God will be the center of your life and will one day use you for his glory!
Oh how wonderful life is while you're in the world! This is my song for you! Love, Hugs, and kisses,
Mom
