Happy Birthday, Jordan!!
Today is my son’s birthday. He’s 30---and I don’t know if he’s more freaked out by that than I am. For certainly, I got no older!! Realizing my baby boy turned into such a wonderful man is beyond mind boggling. He knows exactly who he is, what he wants, and he shares himself with everyone. He has pushed me to do things I would never have done (those fotos? --Not even HALF as wild as the trip he took me on last year!!). I’ve seen him with his friends, where he lives and works, and it’s joyous. From those first tentative steps to rafting Class 5 rapids, “back country” (read not quite legal) snowboarding, he has launched himself into life with everything he has. I’m proud of him and proud to be his mom.
So, yes, Happy Birthday, Jordan!!!
love, mom

ps…that is Jordan at the back of the boat and I’m right in front of him; this was in June.
Ps 2—I originally posted this collage in photography, but it’s not my work and of course I can’t do that. It got moved to snapshots, and then I decided to post it here in Writer’s Gallery and added the haiku just for fun.

Mine are 52, 47, 42 and 40. Scary! Your words so warmed my heart and soul. The love of a mother is unsurpassed and it came through with so much passion and pride. Wonderful dedi. Happy Birthday, Jordan! Your Mom is a very special woman. Dana

What a lovely birthday wish. Well you made it this far with your wits and humor about you, I wish you both may more to come.

Let me take this opportunity to wish your macho devil-may-care Jordan an extremely happy 30th birthday, Marilyn! Neato collage of you and your compatriots braving the roaring rapids.

you know how much I loved the original text, and the haiku & stats (baby stats) add a lovely touch to the whole. It's a really nice post, Marilyn. I favd the original for your love, your tribute, and for Jordan. Same goes here. And the haiku captures a life, in a way. A beautiful tribute...
