Today my baby boy is 20!  Wow!  How in the world did that happen?  It just seems like yesterday that he was dressing up in his Power Rangers costume and karate chopping his little sister.  It just seems like yesterday that he was sitting on my lap reading the Fireman book over and over and over and over.  We still remember the words.  It just seems like yesterday that he was fighting me over wearing the patch over his eye when we found out he was legally blind.  It just seems like yesterday that he was locking our babysitter out of the house while we were out buying our first van.   It seems like just yesterday he was crying over leaving Ohio when the Lord brought us to Kansas.  It seems like just yesterday that we watched with pride as he crossed over that line to score the winning touchdown in the State Championship.  Wow – time flies when you are having fun!    Now, 20 years later, I am flooded with memories and emotion over how blessed a woman I am to have been given such a great son to raise.  He has been a joy.    I don’t know how I got such a respectful, caring and generous son, who has rarely brought us much stress.  I look forward with great anticipation Brandon’s future.  He has vision and purpose and a great head on his shoulders.  I love you Son!
