~THE SWEETEST BOY~This Side of Heaven
and His Very YOUNG Momma

and His Very YOUNG Momma
1982
Once upon a time there was a young girl named Rebecca.
She longed for nothing more than to grow up and marry a very handsome man and have two babies.
In 1978 she married her Prince Charming.
In 1982 her first little baby, a beautiful boy, was born.
She named him Brandon Kent.
Brandon and his mother were very, very close.
He was her miracle child.
Life was good and he was a wonderful little boy...
And gave his mother so much happiness and love.
But, Brandon began to grow and grow.
As the years passed he grew older and wiser.
After many years of living in her nest he said...
"Momma...I must spread my wings. I need to make my own way."
Rebecca cried and cried.

And cried some more.
On the day Brandon flew away she took him aside and said...
"I'll love you forever.
I'll like you for always.
As long as I'm living~
MY BABY you'll be."
And then...the strangest thing happened.
Brandon turned to her and said...
"I'll love you for ever.
I'll like you for always.
As long as I'm living~
My Momma you'll be."
And life continued to be good.
THE END
Happy Birthday, Brandon! I'm sooo incredibly proud of the man you have become. You have risen up and called me blessed...just like God promised me you would. Although I will forever miss the baby and boy you were, nothing fills my heart with more joy than watching you become the man you've been called to be.
I love you...forever and always...Momma
Blessings to you as you celebrate the lives of those you love...

Congratulations for you and your family. How well you express your feelings in words. Two weeks ago my oldest son Jim turned 20 years, all these years on his birthday I woke up at the time of his birth 03.28 and every year he asks me Mama did you wake up, he too thinks this is special. And every year I think back and realize time does fly.
Have a nice day, warm greetings, Carina

Dearest Rebecca,
Luvd this post!
Sons are great.
I was at a women's meeting when the Director of Christian Education read a book to us about my Baby you'll be...not a dry eye in the house.
Have a sweet week-end,

Rebecca,
I know how it feels to have a child grow up and leave home... Just last night I was laying in bed and thinking the house was too empty with just hubby and I , well and our dog. But that is part of life. Happy Birthday to your beloved son!
Blessings!

Happy Birthday to Brandon! He sure looks like his Grandpa doesn't he! Congratulations to you Rebecca for raising such a special young man!

And a good friend, I might add.
No wonder people gather here!

Awww just a beautiful post...Happy Birthday to your little baby boy Brandon...I never want Our beautiful girls move out on their own..I still have a few more years before I have to worry or cry..They are only 6 & 8 ...
Hope you have a wonderful weekend..Hugs..
It is so hard to let them go and make their own way in life and know that you will no longer be a part of their every day life. But oh how sweet to know that they have grown into a full fledged man that can take care of not only themselves but their own families. It makes you so very proud of them. Happy birthday to your son.
Ahhhhhhhh.........Sweet Rebecca... It's bittersweet, isn't it? I so wish I could go back and just enjoy one day with my girl when she was little.... But, they grow up and make us so proud. Your Brandon is one handsome man... And, doing an awesome job being daddy to your adorable Miss K!
Blessings all around!
Hugs,
Spencer
