April 21st 1998...The day that changed my life for the better....

April 21st 15 years ago my life changed for the better. Sure I was an 18 year old college freshman...so of course my life was suppose to be FA BO LO US <---yeah I know that isn't the way to spell it but I just felt like reliving rapper Fabolous' continuous and annoying spelling of his name in every rap song he sung back in my day (or as my kids would say, "back in the olden days") My life had become fabulous not because I had met some incredible dude, not because I some over achieving student, but it had become fabulous because I'd become a mom at 5:52 p.m. on a Tuesday evening! Christopher 2nd name 3rd name last name (I can't divulge my baby's whole name up here ;-) had come into this world and made me a better person, but more so he provided me with the title of Mom. The circumstances in which he came to be and who the "donor" of the sperm was, no longer mattered to me, because he was beautiful, perfect, precious...PRICELESS. I would become mama and daddy, since "daddy" wasn't man enough to step up (sad to say some 15 years later he still isn't, but I digress... To my boy, I say that you were fearfully and wonderfully made and there is no one like you and I love that! You're intelligent, funny, brave, lovable, an awesome big brother, son, grandson, great grandson, nephew, student, friend, young man, athlete and so much more...
