13

Thirteen years old. I'm having such a hard time with that. I can't believe my elder son is now a teenager. He's embarking on such an exciting journey through life - everything is ahead of him.

For his thirteenth birthday, we gave him journey-themed gifts. His own Bible, to show him which way he should go on his journey. A cross necklace, to remind him that he's so special that Someone died just for him. A watch to remind him that it's never too late to change. And a video game, to remind him to have fun on the way.

...and I didn't even cry...
