My son turned 17 today. He is a wonderful, intelligent, caring kid. I am very thankful to have him. I can’t even imagine what life would be like without him.

He was a preemie (born at 26 weeks) and we almost lost him more than once. I have prayed so much for this kid! I thank God every night that he lets me keep my son in my life.

You never really know what your kids will turn out like. You do your best to raise them right, love them, and help them adjust in the world. I’m proud to say that my son is a great kid. He’s never got into any real trouble at school or home. He’s not perfect by any means, but it could be so much worse!

I believe he’s going to have a wonderful, productive life. I think he’ll make a great husband and father one of these days. I’m looking forward to seeing just what the next 17 years brings!
