When my boys were small, I was too busy to keep up with their baby books, so I started writing them "birthday letters". The idea was to capture "snap shots" of their personalities each year until their 18th birthdays. Time is flying by, but as my youngest son turns 16 -- the tradition continues.

To my "baby" boy,
In my heart you are my "baby", but in my head I know that you are now a "young man". I want you know that I couldn't be more proud of you.
As a young boy, new situations made you anxious, but you pushed through and continued to step out of your comfort zone and embrace new opportunities. With every year, I have seen you get more independent and confident, and I am looking forward to seeing where the future takes you -- as long as you always remember to come home and spend time with your mother. 😁
Here's how I see you as you step into your 16th year:
- You love all sports, but hockey is definitely your first love. You work hard, and you are looking forward to going to Mooseheads camp next month.
- Your brothers are your best buddies and you enjoy spending time with family... which makes my heart happy.
- You have a quick wit, a goofy sense of humour, and a way of making Dad and I laugh often.
- You started your first job this year, and you love having money to spend on hockey equipment and golf clubs.
- You love memes, crackers, video games, and Crispers.
- You are smart, kind, unpredictable, hardworking, and fun.
