36 years ago on this day...

... I gave birth to my youngest son, Ryan. I also have a son, Rod, who is two years older than Ryan. On their birthdays my thoughts are always about them. I remember all the hopes and dreams I had for them on the day of their birth, and what a joyous time it was. In recent years I have been estranged from my kids, for reasons I won't go into here. But regardless of what happens in life or the choices our children make, mothers never stop loving their children and wishing the best for them. So on this day, my heart and mind are focused on Ryan, hoping he is happy and well, and that each year of his life gets better and better for him.

I think this is the perfect song to post for Ryan's birthday- a happy tune all about love-
"Say Hey" by Michael Franti & Spearhead





Peace-
Linda

sending you a hug Linda....

yup... not much goes as planned sometimes with families does it?...... my Mom used to say "all we can do is the best we know how at the time".... and then, keep moving forward from there.

I'm sorry you're estranged from your sons, Linda.....seems to happen a lot in families. :( I hope one day that your sons will reach out to you. Happy Birthday to Ryan!
