Today, he is 25 years old. TWENTY-FIVE! I cannot imagine my life without him and I cannot imagine him as an adult---but he is definitely not "mine" anymore. He is growing and maturing into the adult he is/will be. I am lucky I still get to see him every day, while he lives at home with us and commutes to college.
Our mother/son dynamic had a rocky time a few years ago (teen years SUCK, as we can still attest to with Willow)...but the last three years have been a mending time and I think Michael and I have a better, stronger relationship now.
Its still a challenge and the world is not always kind to someone who is neurodivergent. But...this year he has taken on challenges and faced them, making me a little less worried about his future.
Now, tonight we celebrate at---LEGAL SEAFOODs!
Happy Birthday, Michael!
Part of Birthday festivities--going to Evil Dead the Musical!
Holding Baragon.
Buying an ASH figure from Uncle Tom...
When he worked at CVS this past year.
