today is his birthday
July 20, 2008, 10:40:22 AM
so there is a lot of back story
that i will not even begin to
approach in this thread
suffice it to say
for nearly 20 yrs of
my life and all of my son's
life, we were in a "religion"
that, in the last 8 months
i have come to realize was
a cult.... and part of the
requirements in this b0rg
was an adherence to the
policy that birthdays (and
a multitude of other "celebrations)
were forbidden and unscriptural
all right... fast forward to now!
today is my son's first birthday
out of the cult and in his genuine life
(15 in actual time on the planet)
i just woke him up with a
buttercream frosted cupcake
and a candle ( glittery blue)
he cried
so did i
happy birthday adrien!!
you cannot even begin
to know how much you
rock my world
love unending,
mama

Happy 1st birthday! How's it feel to live your first year on Earth? Haha.
You really need to get one of those banners that says, "IT'S A BOY." Seriously.
Okay, maybe I'm taking it too far. My sense of humor is a little cruel.
What a wonderful moment for both of you. I am tremendously touched.

That's so incredibly sweet of you, mom!
Blessed be for being so compassionate and understanding of your son's gender identity issues.
And Adrien, Happy birthday indeed! Here's a flower from me!

Well, it's late now, but Adrien, hoping you had the absolute most fantastic first birthday ever!!
And I concur, Mom. You are the best. And I still wish my parents had been a bit more like you.

thank you all for the well wishes
this is my baby....
it is amazing how fast
they grow up....
i am happy enough for him
being able to voice his needs
wants dreams aspirations
and yet there is a clear
yearning for life to be less complicated
oh well
it is what it is
bless all your dear and wonderful hearts!

I worry that as we grow, life becomes more complicated, not less so. Time may take choices away, but they never fade, and what seems so easy on one end, is a lot harder on the other as you come out.
