My son's name is Joel . His 18th Birthday is tomorrow . In August he will be heading off to college to make for an easier life than I had . ****You go baby ! *** I am proud of him just for that . He is a very caring, loving, young man that I would lay my life down for at any given second . Any Mother couldn't ask for a better young man to call her"Son" ! He has kept the Southern thinkng about his mom ........"Mama aint happy , aint NOBODY happy ! Keep mama happy and your road is smooth sailing ! " We have a lot of respect and trust in each other and that means a lot ! I am really proud to call him my son and I hope that one day a wonderful , beautiful young lady will grab him up and love him as much as I do . Though I think that would be impossible.........but hey.....I hope she tries for the rest of their lives !!
