Samuel turned 14 a week ago. 14!! I can’t believe that my Sammy is just 4 years from what THEY considered adulthiod:). It has really been a journey. A journey that has taught me so much; I have gained much more from Samuel than I can ever give to him. He has made me who I am today….eternally grateful.
Samuel’s birthday was simple…a simple pizza, drinks, snacks and cake. We ordered vanilla cake but they mistaken made chocolate. As soon as I saw it, I knew a meltdown was underwat but yet NOTHING…Samuel asked if I could return it and I simply said I was tired and can do it Saturday morning….and he said “Okay”. Okay was the last word or reaction from my mind. The old Samuel would have broken down into a total meltdown with eyes and nose running. You would have thought he had received the worst news in the world.
The next morning, I heard his footsteps and did my usual “Samuel, you have to brush your teeth” anticipating the usual argument around why brushing on weekend is required but I got NOTHING. He just opened my door and said “Thank you for yesterday, I had fun”…I was shocked and taken aback by his reaction.
If this is what 14 has to offer me, I am ready and excited for what the year has in store for Samuel. I am always proud and excited for this boy. His pure heartedness is what I aspire to have.
Thank you to everyone that has been supporting and praying with us. We are greatful❤
Happy birthday once again Sam. 14 is looking amazingly well with you.
Happy belated Birthday Sam. Great kids are often the best gift of amazing parents & in your case an amazing mom. So how do you feel about dating at 18 🤣🤣🤣🤣 sorry I couldn’t help myself… please, exhale
Yippee! Progress. It is a step by step process. Sometimes those steps are so small you may think nothing is happening. Each step on your journey is important. Well done Mom and Samuel!
Well done Sam and congrats to you both x
