I have never seen a person so excited to be an official teenager. The last thirteen years has gone so quickly. You have grown into such a fine young man. I am excited to see where the next thirteen years take you.
True to form Carson wanted to spend his birthday quietly with the family. We served his traditional birthday treat: Dutch-oven blackberry cobbler baked in the backyard over our fire pit with vanilla ice-cream. YUM!
"This is our one and only chance at mortal life - here and now. The longer we live, the greater is our realization that it is brief. Opportunities come, and then they are gone. I believe that among the greatest lessons we are to learn in this short sojourn upon the earth are lessons that help us distinguish between what is important and what is not. I plead with you not to let those most important things pass you by as you plan for that illusive and non-existent future when you will have time to do all that you want to do. Instead, find joy in the journey - now."
