What would make a fifth-grade girl run all the way home from school?
Might she get a whoopin’ for coming home past a certain time?
Is she hungry for an after-school snack?
Is she trying to get home in time to catch Beach Week on the 4 o’clock movie?
(hush, Kevin)
Or is she super excited to meet her very first nephew, who came home from the hospital today? That’s it!
I wanted to stay home from school that day but Mama wasn’t having it. So, I sadly went on to school.
When I got home, I fell instantly in love with the little brown sleeping angel.
And what an angel you were. Well, most of the time. You were the only person who could get this reaction from Daddy if you cussed. Daddy was wrapped around your little finger.
I’ve watched you grow from a baby, to a toddler, to a teenager with a high-top fade, to a loving and dedicated father, It’s colder than a %$#@!&*
You were spoiled; yes, you were. Everybody doted on you and pretty much let you get your way. If Mama and Daddy were like that about you as a child, I’m sure they would still feel the same protective, nurturing way about you now. I know they’re smiling down on you and so glad you’ve grown into such a good father. That is one of the things that makes me so proud of you.
and to a grown man with such a big heart. So, I’ll give you grace for your spoiled early days.
I’m wishing you the happiest of birthdays on this very special birthday.
I’m also thanking my Big Sister for bringing you into our lives.
To make this birthday even more special for you, I’m hoping that everyone who reads this will bless you with an expression of love at your

I love you more than you know.
On this special birthday, no matter what age you’ve reached, I’ll probably always see you this way. I hope you can forgive me for that:
