It’s hard to believe what feels like yesterday has flashed before my eyes and now you are no longer a baby, but a lad on his way to manhood.

Today I would like to celebrate Jared and to thank him for the many milestones we have shared together. As I look over the many pictures I’ve taken of him over the years I am reminded of what a strong, vibrant and kind-hearted young man he is even during tough times.

Please help me to wish Jared a Happy 13th Birthday.
