Eighteen Years Ago Today...

...Maxwell Timothy Hanson entered this world and made it a better place. It seems unreal that he's been in my world for 18 years. It was just yesterday that I had him, but at the same time I can't remember my life without him.

People prepare you for having babies, but they don't prepare you for letting them go. Maxwell will take a piece of my heart with him when he goes to college, but at the same time I can not wait to see him spread his wings and fly.

Happy, happy 18th birthday, my boy. I love you with all of my heart.
