Chad and Mom (Loretta)
Chad with his birthday sorbet
The adorable (yet delicious according to Chad) Birthday sorbet desert.
I blinked. Certainly that is what has really happened here. I woke up this morning to the cutest site.
Chad’s friend, Ethan and his parents snuck up and put up a Birthday banner and left Balloons for Chad early this morning. I woke him up and told him he needed to go outside. There he was standing there, not entirely awake in his under ware , I laughed and told him he might want to get dressed before going out.
We both giggled, it was such a precious reminder of what friends are for.
Tonight was dinner out. He choose Hunan L’Rose in Odenton, MD. As has been our experience for many years now the food and the service were just excellent.
Today my young man turned 20. As we sat chatting and I watched in amazement the true gift he is in my life, I enjoyed hearing him talk about work, school and sip hot tea. I do think two packets of sugar for a less than 4 oz cup of tea was a bit over kill but, it’s his birthday.
Without a doubt he is one of the most precious people in my life. It is still my joy to hear him call me mom. Happy 20th Birthday, my Chad. I love you!
