You’re 14 today, Dylan – Happy Birthday!
We love you for your sense of humor… and timing,
for that smile that lights up your face,
and for the way you shake with excitement when you open a gift.
We love to watch you watch sports
and love how you get a kick out of conversations among grown-ups,
how you’re particular about your toys,
and that you’ve conquered your fear of Wal-Mart.
We’ve loved you since the day we laid eyes on you.
You can be still and quiet,
loud and obnoxious,
sweet and sour,
shy and talkative.
You can be the center of attention or disappear without notice.
God created you without a single mistake,
He delights in you, Dylan, and we do too.
