Hey, swell. And good evening. It is May 6. And guess what? It's also my son's 13th birthday. So yesterday, when I was sitting on the balcony, as I was thinking about today, I felt myself feeling kind of different. Normally, birthdays that just come and go, but when you have something major that happens to your child, and especially when it's around their birthday, each year during that date means so much more

Hey, sis. First and foremost, I want to say happy birthday to your son. I know you guys have overcome a lot, so I thank God for his life, thank God for his health. So happy that he has the energy and the enthusiasm to be excited about his birthday and to be able to celebrate his birthday the way a 13 year old young man should be able to celebrate it. With cake, with lots of gifts, lots of fun at home with his family

Happy birthday, young man. I am so glad that he is able to enjoy his birthday to the fullest. What a difference a year makes. What a difference. So I'm celebrating with you all. Happy birthday to him. Happy birthday to you and his dad. Because parents, we celebrate right along with our children. We don't take the glory from their day, but we just feel like, wow. Thank God for my blessing as well

And we didn't get to make it there because he was too busy playing his game. But that is something that we're going to do this weekend. Thanks so much for response

Good morning, Miss Coles. Thanks so much for the birthday wishes for my son. And, yes, you are absolutely correct. It is a relief, because last year I didn't. To be honest, I didn't know where we would be this year, you know, I didn't know where we would be. So I'm so blessed and so happy to be able to be where we are. And it's very emotional

Good morning. Yes, it was wonderful to be able to celebrate, and we were all happy just to see the smile on his face and just to see him being excited to receive the gifts and just being able to enjoy, you know, being 13 is a big, big step in your life going through those teen years, and he's had to grow up so fast. But at the same time, he enjoys or he deserves to be able to celebrate like a 13 year old should

Happy, happy birthday to him. You know, I'm glad that you told that story because it does, it does make you look at birthdays differently and appreciate them more. And I'll be very transparent and very honest. I don't really like, look to celebrating my birthday because I guess for the longest time I wanted people to celebrate with me and it'd be a big deal

Hey, happy Tuesday. Or. Yeah, thank you, Susie. Yeah, Tuesday. Thanks so much for responding. He did have an awesome day, and I'm so grateful for that. You know, I used to be the same as you with the birthdays because people, I couldn't get anybody to go. It seemed like they canceled on me all the time. But I was always supportive of everybody else. So you know what I started doing? I started going by myself. So
