CJ Turns 18! Good afternoon, everyone! So, in exactly one month, CJ will officially turn 18 years old! Oh my goodness, where has the time gone? It feels like just yesterday I was bringing him home from the hospital and then watching him walk into kindergarten for the very first time. CJ has made a small birthday list on Amazon. And yes, he even added a shirt for me because he wants Mom to wear it on his choir concert nights. This young man has been through so much in his 18 years. He has had to experience the heartbreaking loss of his grandpa, great-grandpa, his dad, and his favorite uncle all within his lifetime.  Despite everything he has faced, he has overcome so much and grown into an incredible young man. I am so extremely proud of the person CJ has become, especially over these past few years. I want to make his 18th birthday extra special and give him a birthday he will always remember. Hopefully, I can even get him an ice cream cake from Dairy Queen! If anyone would like to help make his birthday special, he would absolutely love receiving birthday cards with $1 or $2 bills inside. It may seem like something small, but I know he would get a kick out of opening all those cards and seeing what’s inside. Thank you all for loving and supporting CJ through the years. Please help me celebrate this amazing young man as he enters this next chapter of his life!
