Another year has flown by, and my “little” boy is another year older! Where did the time go? It feels like just yesterday I was teaching him to ride his bike (with a few scrapes and tears along the way, of course!), and now he’s navigating adulthood with such grace and strength. It’s hard to believe how quickly they grow up.

Sometimes I worry, you know? About whether I did enough, whether I taught him the right things, whether he’s truly happy. Life throws so many curveballs, and all you want as a parent is to protect them from the tough stuff. But the reality is, you can’t. And it’s a little scary seeing him out there, facing the world on his own.

Being an aunt is one of the greatest joys in my life, and watching you grow up has been an absolute privilege. It feels like just yesterday you were a tiny, giggling baby, and now you’re blossoming into a remarkable young woman. Where did all the time go? It makes an aunt’s heart swell with both pride and a tiny bit of sadness as we realize just how quickly life moves.

Well, my boy, another year has flown by! It feels like just yesterday I was teaching you how to ride your bike, scraped knees and all. Now, look at you, practically soaring through life. It’s amazing, truly, to watch you grow and chase your dreams. But, if I’m being honest, sometimes I miss those simpler days (don’t tell anyone!).

Though, as proud as I am of everything you’ve accomplished, there’s always that little pang in a dad’s heart. Seeing you face challenges, navigate the complexities of adulthood, and sometimes even stumble, well, it isn’t easy. I know you’re strong and capable, but a father always wants to shield his son from the bumps in the road. It’s just part of the job description, I guess.
