The oldest boy is 17 today.
What can I say about him. Except for a year of sleepless nights and projectile vomiting, he's been little to no trouble at all.
There's a few things about him that impress me just a bit:
He is a hard worker. Always has been. I have pictures of him covered in grease, helping daddy fix his mower. His favorite toy was his tool belt and tools.
He's a loyal friend. He is caring and self-sacrificing for his friends, but not to a fault. He has distinct boundaries, and he won't let someone take advantage of him.
He's a risk taker. He knows how to weigh risks and is willing to take calculated ones.
He follows his passion and is willing to work hard to follow his dream.
And he's kind.
On this day, Timo, I'm just so proud of the young man you've become. Strong yet humble is hard to find in this day and age.
Love you, Bud!
