His 17th year was a year. So much happened for him. License, SATs, socializing, progressing, major loss, celebrations, a new normal, life happened. At this moment I can not go back and look at pictures from the year, I will cry. I'm so proud of him, I had so much help shaping him the moment I found out I was expecting a child. So many people got us here. So many moments of him and I, so many times he just understood as a child. So many times we have been proud of each other, mad at each other, sad with one another and hopeful together. As much as I raised him, he tought me how to live, how to get down on my knees and appreciate his view of the world. I'm so glad he chose me. Because now, he has to get down to my level and see my world lol he is going to step into adulthood and it is so scary, but I have so much faith and I know he will live it until...I love you Jaxin Perez more than you will ever know. I'm so proud of you. Remember it is best to stand alone in your belief than bow your head. Remember it's more about them than you. Remember to safely lend a hand and always trust your instinct. I have your back on earth and I'll have your back from the other side, always, forever. Happy Birthday.
