Hello? Hello? Is anybody there?

Wow. Joshua, you have grown SO much. As your hair has been increasingly lengthening, your childhood is increasingly shortening. You are becoming a responsible, caring, Godly young man. I am proud of you and thankful to have been given the privelege of being your mom for 12 years and counting. I love you and look forward with joy to our next 12 years and counting:)
Love,
Mom
