When my boys were little, I started a tradition of writing Christmas letters to my boys on their birthdays. My hope is that they can always find their letters on my blog and know how much I loved being their mom--at every stage of their lives. Today I share my letter to my oldest son on his 17th birthday.
Dear Cameron,
As you turn 17, and look forward to your graduation in June, I can't believe how fast the time has gone. It seems like I was just holding your hands as you learned to walk, and now you are driving yourself around. You are a very good driver, but it sure was scary seeing you pull out of the driveway on your own the first few times. 😊
I'm so proud of the young man you are becoming, and can't wait to see what the next chapter of your life brings for you. I know you'll do great!
Here are some of the things that make you the special 17 year old that you are:
- You aren't afraid to try something new. This year you joined the high school basketball team even though you have never played organized basketball before.
- You still love hockey. You love watching it, playing it, talking about it, and reffing it.
- You are really starting to love golf. You got a job at the golf course and joined the golf team at school.
- You love to spend time with your family, friends, and teammates. You especially love your summer vacations in PEI with your Ottawa cousins and your all your adventures with your Halifax cousins.
- You are a fantastic student. I never see you stressed, and your time management skills are impressive. I can't wait to see how you apply these skills in university next year.
