Happy Birthday Son! I figured I would beat the rush on the eve of what is a momentous day. I could heap endless platitudes on you but I will not. I often think we stole part of your youth by urging you along the path that you took. But, when I stop to look at the man that you have become; the father that you are every minute you breath and just how many people you have impacted so deeply, I am astonished. You have accomplished so much and yet have so much ahead of you. I am proud beyond words Dylan Michael. I love you and I am so very glad you are my son. Enjoy your day... did something foolish... and know you are loved. I'll talk to you in a day or so and we'll plan a get together. Happy Birthday my boy. Dad
