Do you ever sit back and wonder where the time went? There are three specific days I do that, today is one of them.
Happy Birthday Thomas Alexander Graham Bell! I can’t believe you are 33 years old today, the memory of you being born is so crisp and clear it feels like yesterday. In all honesty I wanted you to be born on the 13th as that is a good luck day in our family but that day the year you were born was a Saturday and since you were a planned C-Section my doctor vetoed that.
He did ask why and I told him and he said he was not giving up his Saturday for that reason. He was pretty funny about it, so the twelfth it was.
Your Granny Dee and Great Grandpa Wells came down to take care of your brother and sister while we were at the hospital having you.
It was a bright sunny, Texas summer day, the nurse thought you were our first child based on our excitement to see you. When we explained you were actually our fourth child she was shocked. She said people who are on number 4 are usually blasé about a new baby.
We were eager to meet you and tell you how much you we loved you.
You were and continue to be a constant surprise, your intelligence, humor and commitment to your family is something to see.
I am in awe of you and so proud of the man you have become. I pray every day that God continues to bless you, with your beautiful family and in your business life.
I value our conversations and I am ever grateful that God gave you to us. Our family was completed when you made your appearance.
Your sister nicknamed you Mr Sunshine face due to your sunny disposition as a baby. You woke up smiling and laughing, you reminded me so much of my dad, your grandpa. He always had that sunny disposition as well, along with being sensible and pragmatic. You come by your personality honestly, I see generations of Testermans in you.
I hope you have the best day EVER, I love you so much, I hope that your day is filled with the love and laughter of your sweet daughters and amazing wife.
Happy Birthday Thomas Alexander!
