Oh my god I’m crying. This was such an incredible, vulnerable, emotional post. As someone who has not (yet) experienced parenthood, thank you for giving me a little sneak peek 💛

Thanks, Dizzy! Parenthood is maybe the best thing I've done with my life. No regrets.

Oh, my, this is such a heartwarming letter to your son! What a lovely birthday present you give him by writing it, and all of us readers get the gift, too. Your son is so lucky to have you for a dad.

Your son sure was a cute little guy, Robin. Now it won't be too long until he is a teenager. Where does the time go?

Yes, the teen years are already calling. He's still pretty cute these days but now he is also nearly as tall as I am. He's been such a joy at all ages!

My mother was 5'2''. I caught up with her when I was 12 and kept going until I made 5'9" at 14. You may be in a similar situation with your son.
