First year my wonderful son is at college and I won't be spending Thanksgiving with him

but I am sure we will make up for it at Christmas....and the hour and a half phone conversations we have

make me the happiest mother in the world....he has a wonderful way of letting me know how important I am in his life even though he is 17 hours away :) And son when you read this know how much you are missed and loved....I am so thankful for the amazing relationship that we have and I am missing my best friend!!!
I am so proud to call you my son!!!

Thanks for bringing so much joy to my life son you are truly one of the most amazing and inspiring  people I have known!!!!

(I may have a little to do with that....just a little)
