Today is my son's 6th birthday. Nothing compares to the feeling of pride a parent has when see their son grow up so wonderfully into a so kind young boy. Thank you for that feeling. Thank you for giving us the opportunities to call ourselves proud parents. You gave us endless happiness by just coming into our lives and with each birthday of yours that happiness only keeps growing. May God bless you with everything you desire the most in life. HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLIN! Enjoy your special day....
