Jon turns 17 today. It seemed like yesterday that I carried you in my arms for the first time but 17 years just went past so quickly.
I have learnt so much from you and I don”t say this enough but I do love you very much and am so proud of what you have achieved despite your struggles. Sometimes I forget that it has never been easy for you. This year, you graduated from middle school, sang in public at your graduation ceremony, started high school, managed to take the bus all by yourself and tried to be more independent by attending camps, bowling, and social events. Pappa and I hope that you will always be strong and focus on your determination to do your everyday tasks well. You can do it son.
Enjoy your birthday as you have chosen what you enjoy eating most. Love you to the moon and back Jonathan. We will have a great day together.
