Happy Birthday 'lil Bird.

"So be brave, son and know that I long
To
race you to the top of the morning!
Come, sit on my shoulders and ride.
Run and hide, I'll come and find you,
Climb hills to remind you 
I love you! 
I love you, my boy at my side!"

Lili....it's funny. He was first called Lil Bird by a nurse in the hospital the first time they brought him to me when I got into my room. She said his little mouth was puckering up like a little bird blindly searching for a worm from his mother. The name stuck.
Little did I know that Birdman would become my husbands blog name. Funny, really!

Oh Elenka!! A son that is also an artist....I love that! How lucky are you! Did he go to art school?? There is something very special between a son and a mother...I miss my son so much...he's in Bangor...but that may be changing soon. Happy Birthday to your lil bird and congratulations to you and Birdman too for 25 long and wonderous years.
