Happy Birthday Grandson Q!

Happy 14th Q!!! Wish I could have been there for your pool party but know you had a awesome time. It is hard to believe you are 14 years old. Seems like only yesterday you were to small to open the back door here to go outside to play. Remember all the sticks you collected and put in the bike shed? You didn't want me to throw them away because they were your horses, guns, and other important things at the time. I love that I got to be the one to teach you how to ride a bike. I love that I got to help make some of your childhood memories as you have made many memories for me to cherish. I miss our curling up on the couch under blankets watching old VHS movies and eating candy corn. I miss cheering at your ballgames and being there to see you score a touchdown or stop one with a tackle. I am so proud you are one of the team captains for MMS Panthers this year. I was so happy you called to tell me about your first game winning 44 to 14. Even enjoyed laughing with you over your pants falling down while you kept running for a first down. You are a true football player! I am so proud of all the things you have overcame and accomplished in the past years. You are no longer the little boy that didn't want me throwing anything away because it was all your memories I would be getting rid of. You have grown into a handsome, young, kind, and caring young man with lots of wonderful memories behind those beautiful blue eyes. Thank you for letting me be a part of your life and for sharing some of the highlights by your phone calls. Love you Q and you will always be my BBF. (Best Bud Forever)
