Tomorrow our ES turns 30 so I decided, as an act of my will, to have a birthday party for me and be blessed by the 30 presents he has given me over the years ~ and you are all invited. 
Please join me:
1. He was born, even though we thought we couldn't have any more children
2. He is a boy, when all we could have were girls
3. He looked (and looks) just like his grandpa and father - so cute
4. He would come to me as a little boy while I was half awake and ask me a series of science questions and ponder them well
5. He sat with me when he about 10 and watched a Hallmark Christmas movie ("The Christmas Box") and cried
6. He fell in love with Shirley Temple, even though she was his grandmother's age
7. He never gave up
8. He loved the great outdoors
9. He was the delight of his three older sisters ~ though he prayed so often for 'the sisters' to be kind to him that his teacher thought he lived in a nunnery
10. The first words he 'read' were "Pizza! Pizza!"
11. He loved to vegetable garden - and still does
12. He loved adventure - as I do
13. He loved the snow - as we do
14. He loved to climb mountains - as I did - when we moved into this house he was only 11 and it had been snowy - he woke up the third morning and screamed in delight because he could see a 14,000+ foot mountain right out his bedroom window
15. He has always loved to cook and is very good
16. He was afraid of heights - as his father is - yet would talk himself into jumping out of planes and served in the army as a jumper
17. He served in the military and went over to Iraq and came back alive - though he has severe PTSD
18. He love(d) to farm
19. He finally read his first book all the way through when he was 19 - and it was a physics book
20. He would call me up and talk for hours about physics and other technical stuff - and dumb it down so I could understand
21. He would talk to me about everything
22. He called me up in tears over a horrible incident he stumbled upon and had me talk to him as he drove home so he wouldn't stop and get drunk - like he did after he came back from Iraq
23. He married a wonderful wife whom we still adore
24. He was overjoyed when they had their first child - a daughter
25. He has always been gentle and tender with his little girl
26. When the little girl was diagnosed with autism, he researched everything he could and has been the best father ever
27. When they got pregnant with this last baby, the doctors misdiagnosed the genetics and told them to get an abortion - but our ES called us up for advice and he listened to us and got another test - and the baby is fine - we think (haven't seen him)
28. He is super intelligent
29. He is very athletic - even though he was injured in several jumps
30. He is our son and we will always love him and pray for him to come back to God
Thank you if you got through all this - at least I feel better. I woke up realizing that 30 years ago I was in labor with this little bundle of terror and joy and I couldn't shake the thoughts so this helped. Sometimes we just have to push through by an act of our wills to the other side ~~~ and the other side is good!
