It’s not possible is it? A boy becomes a man and the years just flew by, they seem to blend together. I remember this day in 1986 like almost yesterday. I did only go through that once (not planned to), but 18 hours and a c-section, I had the sweetest big boy-Sean Matthew, who weighed in at 8 lbs, 9 oz!
Life for us would never be the same. It’s still that way. It’s like we have a void in our life that Sean once filled. I know, we get to talk to him everyday, but seeing his face and touching his wavy hair, well that’s something a mom (and dad) misses. I know Sean’s a bit blue. Thanks to the prof that gave him a big test in his least favorite subject-Statistics today-ugh.
I wish I could show you some of the cute videos of him (when we figure out how to upload to the computer and then youtube you will see them). The one of him at the Baltimore aquarium watching the schools of fish and singing to them (was it ‘Under the Sea’?) and him helping me dye Easter eggs and saying he’s proud of me. I’m proud of him and have been for these last 21 years. He’s a gem to us.
20 yrs ago on his 1st birthday. The little boy was born a day or so after him and I was friendly with his mom (who shared my hospital room) for a while. That’s his proud mom mom.
If you’d like to email Sean a birthday greeting and know my email addy (to get his), I know he’d like that.

Oh my gosh, Dianne, it must be such a bittersweet feeling to have your ‘little’ boy turning 21! Kids grow up so fast … it would be marvelous if there were some way to freeze memories, so we could relive them whenever we want to. Congratulations on raising such a wonderful human being!!!!
Happy Birthday, Sean!
As much as we miss those days when our kids were small, it’s quite fulfilling to know that you’ve raised a fine, responsible young man. š
Happy Birthday to Sean:-) I so enjoyed looking at the pictures of him as a baby…yes, the years certainly do go by fast and often I look at my sons and wonder where my babies went to! Oh dear, I can see why he would be a bit blue today having to do that test on his birthday…hope he did ok with it! I’m so sorry to hear about your friend’s loss of her mother, that is so sad. Good luck with being “squeezed”! lol You’d think they could come up with a less painful way!! Geesh! xoxo
Happy 21 Sean!
How sad for you, Dianne, not to be with him on his big day. I hope the next few weeks go by quickly so you can see him again!
