It's Derek's birthday today!!! Happy Birthday to my youngest son!!! For days leading up to this; Colin talks about how its Derek's birthday coming up. Colin does not need a reminder. He knows birth dates and anniversaries for everyone!!! You could say he is almost obsessive about it. A good obsession to have in my opinion. He reminds me constantly.
He said that he would call his brother Derek for his birthday. Of course he did.
Colin absolutely loves his brothers. If he could; I know that he would find the most expensive and finest gift in the world for them.
He adores them, idolizes them. He is never jealous of their success. He simply trusts them completely. He does not say a bad word about them ever. He notices everything about them. What they wear, what they like to do, what they like to eat, what they like to drink!!! He listens very carefully to them. He observes everything about each of them. He knows what kind of cars they drive. He loves it when they take him for a drive. He remembers everything.
Colin knows that he will never drive; and he is ok with that. He knows that he will likely never marry. He has accepted that. He knows that he will never have a house of his own and he is ok with that. But he loves that his brothers have all this success in their lives. He is very proud of his brothers.
His brothers love him too, there is no doubt about that. They have accepted him also.
How blessed - how completely blessed am I? What more could a mother ask of her children??
My cup runneth over and I am so grateful.
