Collin Ricks Birthday is today

Can you believe it’s May 22nd already?  17 years after the birth of my son I still cannot beleve how much time has passed, how many memories I have missed out on, how many I love you dads I have lost.  Now my baby boy who I am sure is no longer a baby is turning 17 today.  I can’t beleive it.  I love you son more than words can express.  I think about you everyday, I think about what you look like now, what kind of young man you have become.  I hope you knwo how much I love you son!!  I wish I knew you and I hope you have not forgotten me after all of these years!

I love you so very much son….

Happy Birthday Collin!

Looking ahead

Well as I sit here at my computer looking at the weeks and months ahead, I see alot of changes ahead of me.  My job is moving it’s offices closer to my house YES!!  No more 2 hour long bus rides to Salt Lake, now it’s about a 10 minute drive.  I also realized today taht my Borthday is coming up…..yep the big 38.  I can hardly beleive it, not to mention Collin’s birthday is coming up not long after mine.  He is going to be 17…yeah 17 can you believe it?  It’s insane, not only that I have a son that age but that I have not seen him since he was about 4.  It hurts me so much to not where he is, what he is doing, what he looks like or what a strong young man I am sure he is growing up to be.  I can only take comfort in knowing that I am sure he is being taken care wherever he is.  I miss you Collin, I miss you alot,  I just wish I knew where you were.

We re going this weekend to walk for MS, This will be the 3rd time that we have attended the MS walk, it is neat to see all thes children and adults walking for a good cause and to se those afflicted with MS fighting the diseas, to rise above it.  The best part is getting to dress up in star wars costumes at the walk, the kids and adults just eat it up.

Speaking of Star Wars, a young boy we did a party for last year passed away this week, it is weighing heavily on my mind and I hope that his parents are doing ok.  I cannot imagine the kind of feelings I would be going through if I had lost a child, they will be in our thoughts and prayers this weekend.

I guess that is all for now…….

CIAO!
