Turning Twelve.

WOW, how did this happen so fast?  Hawk turns twelve in 4 days.  As if his 12th birthday isn't enough for me, he also will be experiencing "step up" day at the JR High that same day.  This just solidifies in my mind how fast these last 12 years have gone by.  I am lucky to have such a great son.  True there are many times in any given day that I wished to squash him like a bug with his constant dry and timely whit, but mostly I am just proud of the young man he is becoming.  12!  Half way to college graduation - I am not ready for this next 12 years.  After reading this to Hawk he just was kind enough to remind me that in twelve years I will be 51!  What?  Sigh!
