Sixteen years old.
Please tell me this is a dream and I will wake and find you in your cowboy decor room, waking up for a sippy cup of milk and cartoons in my bed.
We all know too well that time is the biggest thief of all but actually, it's a joy all the same. Time is what gets you to the next stage (Jaxson driving a car). It's what gets you to the next memory about to be made. The next long talk way past bedtime. The next car ride to get groceries (maybe he can drive me this time). All the big moments to come, followed by the mundane (but very important) days in between.
What a privilege to be able to experience TIME. And Jaxson, what a time we have had with you. An old soul at heart, you challenge us to see the beauty in the world. Your love for nature, history and exploration is truly unmatched and one of your best attributes. You invest so much in your many interests, knowledge comes easy. It's pretty great having a 'walking encyclopedia' in the family!
We are so very proud of you in all you do Jaxson.
Enjoy this moment in time. (Ahh to be 16 again!)
Happy Birthday.
