15 today. If you ask me, it seems like just yesterday he was born. Colin came late- very late. And he waited for a dramatic entrance- right smack in the middle of hurricane Floyd. Being responsible, I was at Acme getting supplies for said hurricane when my water broke. So like a good expectant mom I called the OB and she said give a call when contractions are coming ever 5 minutes. That took a bit. I can remember pacing my little apartment, water pouring through the ceiling from the copious amounts of rain falling, buckets everywhere to catch it. It took my mom finally freaking out to get me to get my butt in the car and head to Doylestown Hospital, not easily as most roads were flooded. I am surprised he wasnt born in the car, took that long to get there. The penalty for waiting to get to the hospital was no epidural, as the anesthesiologist couldnt get there either. Poor Colin, he never stands a chance in an argument. Ask him, hell tell you what I say, I birthed you, and naturally I might add during a hurricane. He just shakes his head. He was so tiny. 6 lbs 8 ozs. I look at those pictures of him and just shake my head, thinking of where we are now, what he is going through. I held him that first day, his head on my heart. He felt safe and I could make everything better for him at that point. I wish the same held true today. I have known Colin since he first moved in my belly so very long ago. Yet it is only the past few months I have truly gotten to see his soul and his heart. He is fierce and strong. He is one of the funniest people I know with a dry, witty, unique sense of humor. He is confident and believes in himself with all his might. He instills in his friends a sense of loyalty and trust. He is a good friend and an excellent son. Hes working still on being a better big brother. :-) So today, this birthday (which irks him to no end it is Back to School Night and he is robbed of eating out) I wish him a very happy birthday. He is truly a good reason to celebrate all that can be good, strong and kind in a person. Happy happy birthday Colin!!! xoxo
