How did this happen?

How did we go from this:

to this:

so quickly?

Somehow my son, Andrew, as turned into an adult. My calendar shows that it has been 21 years but honestly, it hasn't felt like much more than 21 weeks.

They have been among the most wonderful years of my life - although I have to admit that those years have also included some of the most frustrating moments of my life. Those few moments have been completely worth it. Andrew is a kind, smart, funny, polite, responsible young man.

I'm proud of you, son.

Love,
Mom
