Tomorrow will be my first born..Jeff Strengths birthday... I had just turned 19 in July and he was born August 18th, 1972. I always looked younger than my age...When I went into Piedmont Hospital, they all said I was a baby having a baby. We eventually ended up alone together and raised each other for several years. He was SO smart and I was so proud of everything he did! And he still is...And I still am! I have so many memories over those years...But I think my favorite was driving down to work in Atlanta every morning and every evening back home listening to WQXI! And later on it would be Z93! We sang all the way to work and all the way home...every day. He knew all the words to all the songs. The traffic was so terrible and took so long...But it was always fun...singing our way to work! I used to take his birthday off from work every year and spend that whole day with just him. One year in particular when he was finally old enough and tall enough I took him to Six Flags and stood in line to ride the Scream Machine! The whole time we were in line he said we arent riding this...I dont want to ride this...And I said Okay! And we continued to stand in line. He kinda freaked a little when they put us in the seat....Ended up being one of his FAVORITE things in the park to do! I was in a pure panic! I am afraid of height! :O The things parents do for their kids! ;) He went into the Air Force after graduating with honors...Ended up marrying his lovely Lezli and living in Tucson, AZ...far away from me. I miss him...every day. He has a beautiful daughter, Aleah, that will be starting college this year. She is so smart...just like her Daddy...I know how proud they must be of her...I am too!
