Happy Birthday!

To my wonderful son, Jared.


(Picture: Jared teaches his sister vital life skills.)

You've shown me that mothering is a hard journey but one with wonderful company. I marvel that the baby I knew has grown into the young man I see you becoming. Thank you for your patience with my sometimes bizarre parenting skills (I still think "Deep Blue Sea" is a great film for a 9 year old!), and your unfailing good humour.

I love you son, happy 10th birthday.
