Happy 13th Birthday My Son Alex :)

 You and Your Brother Dustin in Colorado
 "Peace"
Huntsville, Alabama

My Dear sweet baby Son, Today you're now a teenager and you'd think this would be easy to write to you since your brother Dustin was 13 years old when you were born about to be 14years old on September 29. Your birthdays are almost a month apart. You were born in Southaven, Mississippi on August 26.1998 at 9:24pm (cst). You were born at Desoto Baptist Hospital by Dr. Dang weighing in at 7lbs. and 20 inches long. Down the road from Elvis Presley's house at Graceland in Memphis, Tennessee. It was a long day with much anticipation waiting for you to arrive. We were all looking forward to your arrival and your brother naturally took the big brother role in protecting you much like you now- with you being a big brother.

I'll never forget finding out I was carrying you- it was a Christmas surprise and I really did wonder what was in the water in Mississippi because everyone on the block was having a baby at that time :)

Soon, we found out your cousin, Parker would be born a month before you. So, when I tell you stories of you and he sitting on the tables at Country Buffet here in Huntsville in your infant seats it really seems like you were just a baby not long ago. I think it's neat that's where you want to have your Birthday Dinner, no matter what state in the US your in, theres always a Country Buffet. As I said, that's the Southern Guy in you, along with that Southern Gentleman kindness you've got going on.. although you have a mid-western accent you'll always have a little country in you :)

I'm so proud of you and happy for you this year being excited about all your classes and electives. I know you're a youngman now and growing up and even though you'll always be my baby I'm happy to see you reach for your dreams. No matter what most of all- I want you to be happy and know you're loved so much.

Hugs to you my Baby Son
Alexander
Love always,
-Mom
