Well, it’s official.  My son Ethan is turning 6 years old today.  We took him to Sea World yesterday to celebrate and he’s having a little party at school today, then it’s off to Chuck-E-Cheese for our big birthday bash tonight!  I made the famous chocolate chip waffles for breakfast (everyone in our house gets ‘em on their birthday, with chocolate syrup instead of maple!) and he already tore into all his presents…so I think he made out pretty well.  But what it comes down to is this…it’s not about the presents, the cake, the parties, or the chocolate chip waffles.  It’s about letting my children know just how much each of their births has meant to me, and what Ethan brought into my life the day he was born is indescribable.  He has been a source of wisdom, compassion, freedom, understanding, and unconditional love to me.  He has taught me things in his 6 years on this earth that I could have never learned otherwise, and out of it I’ve found my best pal, my oldest son, and my window to the future.  And with that…a little glimpse into the past 6 years…Happy Birthday big man!!!
