Today is my son's birthday.

I got to call him on the phone. Not quite the same as actually sharing his birthday cake, but hey, it is something.

1. My dear KitchenWitch!

Aw, sweetie...

I know your heart is breaking to not be there with him today...

Talking will do, though, won't it?

The power of a voice, especially a beloved one, over the phone, can speak volumes to us at this end...

Happy Birthday to your beautiful son!:party:

:hug:

4. He is happier.

The move here was too hard for him (at 15).

I ache, but I am the adult.

12. I may be going there in April for spring break.

Hopefully it will snow again (everyone in MN will blame me for the late snow.)
