Today is Drew's 17th birthday.
In taking a moment to reflect on the last 17 years, the following stands out:
I love that Drew is so sensitive. He has always been a kid who feels deeply - from crying when Otis the cartoon dog was kidnapped (when he was in 5th grade) to showing deep concern for the his grandparents. This is not a quality you can teach, rather one that he was born with.
I love that Drew is humble and down to earth. He does not have the attitide that some kids his age do that he is the the greatest person in the world. Don't get me wrong, he thinks he is great, but he also acknowledges that EVERYONE is great in their own way too. And that he is no better than them. He sees the same value in himself as every individual in the world.
I love the Drew does not "judge". He does not care if someone looks different, is gay, or makes choices he would not make. He truly believes that everyone can make their own choices or be their own person and its not his place to judge them for it.
Drew is growing into a tremendous young man and I am exceedingly proud to be his mom.
