THE SPECIAL 25 YEAR OLD JORDAN....

YOUR FIRST BORN IS ALWAYS "SPECIAL" ...

and the child that, unfortunately, is the "test drive parenting" child!

Well, I made this card with my Jordan in mind...because he "is" so special to me...he NEVER forgets his mom. The "fathers" in the sentiment is with the Dalai Lama in mind or whomever Jordan wants it to be, including his own father. Jordan respects the Dalai Lama highly, so that is what I was particularly focusing on...as well as all the prophets, and greatnesses of being in all faiths!  But first, as a way of sharing the essence of my son's and my bond, and just "who" Jordan is, I want to share a gift he gave me for my birthday - a song he wrote and taped for me.

HAPPY FIFTY TWO

verse
You're one half the agreement
That brought me into being
And twenty-three years later
You're the best mom I've seen
Today you're one year older
But it's really just one more day
I've put these words together
To wish you a Happy Birthday

August fourteenth nineteen fifty six
You came into this world
And though I didn't know you, I'm sure
You were a beautiful girl.
Now fifty-two years have passed
And there's many more to come
You have three kids that are sure of one thing:
They have the world's greatet mom!

CHORUS
We love you
And I love you
It's really, really true.
Happy Birthday to you, mom.
Happy fifty-two.

verse
At twenty-nine you had a son
And loved him through the years
You listened to his stories
Through the laughter and the tears
At thirty-two you now had a pair
With your daughter's pretty face
And loved her too, with all your heart
Though I know she came from space.

Then finally, the trio was complete
After you turned forty-two
And ten years later, he's grown so tall
And wears bigger shoes than you!

CHORUS
We love you
And I love you
It's really, really true
Happy Birthday to you, mom,
Happy fifty-two

BRIDGE
Sometimes it may feel like we're far away
And sometimes we don't speak for several days
But you're my mom and we share a soul
And I'll love you past the end
How many people are as lucky as me.
With a parent as a friend?

CHORUS
We love you
And I love you
It's really, really true
Happy Birthday to you, mom
Happy fifty-two

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
Love,
JORDAN (my now 25 year old who is engaged to marry "our Laura!")

How great an honor to hand over the torch to a woman (Laura) that you positively love with all your heart and that you KNOW is the best woman in the world (besides me of course lol) for your son.

  

LOVING GOD
