Happy Birthday Colin

Happy Birthday to Colin

born on the most romantic day of the year...

a day of 
cupid, cards, candy,
dinners, diamonds, dates,

roses, romance and don't forget
RESERVATIONS.

Colintine’s Day

Colin was due to enter this world on February 13th 

but just missed that day.

At 5:30 am on 2/14/888 he arrived…

Oops there he is.

Enter Colin 
stage right…..

right smack dab in the middle of my heart.  

Colin had me at waahhh, waahhh. 

With a birthday on Valentine's Day, 

we could have named Colin

Valentino or Valentine, 

but we spared him a lifetime of tee hees and guffaws

plus his name was just as heartfelt.

 We had recently seen the movie "Oxford Blues" with Robe Lowe and 

a character in it (not Rob Lowe)…

was named Colin.  

I loved “Colin” 

the moment I heard the name

and I loved Colin 

the moment I saw his face.

Anywhooooo……

Looking at that sweet boy’s face…

I used to think about his future.

Que sera sera

Whatever will be, will be
the future's not ours to see...

My little guy growing up, 

so fun, funny, happy, energetic and loving...

will he be...

a body builder

a ship's Captain

a comedian ala Steve Martin style

Speaker of the House

an entrepreneur

a Suburban Cowboy

a musician (with bass face)

Fast Forward...

All these years later he grew into
what matters most....

what's in his heart...
and

the best son, 

grandson, brother, nephew, uncle, friend 
and now 

fiance (yay)

you could ever hope for.  

Today is about celebrating Colin.

Valentine’s Day may be along for the ride…
riding shotgun…

but I am banishing Valentine's Day 
to the backseat.

Happy Birthday Colin
