Dear James,

I am undeniably almost 5 months late writing your birthday letter! You know me by now. I’m always a day late and dollar short it seems. It is not because I want to be. But, you know how life goes with our busy schedule!

Nevertheless, we had a great birthday celebration at home this year. The big 14 came way too quickly. You have grown and matured so much lately. Everyone always talks about how they cannot believe how much you have grown. Being 6 ft tall and a size 12 1/2 shoe surprises most folks even your mama!

I have said it time and time again that the days are long but the years are short, and that statement continues to ring true. You will officially reach adult status in just 4 years! I know the next 4 years will fly by just like all the rest of them have.

Keep the Lord first in your life in all things. He will continue to take you far and to places that you have always dreamed of. God’s ways are flawless, and He wants to bring joy to your life every day.

I love you more than you could ever imagine. Keep on being the sweet teenager that God intends for you to be.

Love Always,

Mom 💙
