What a Kid-Young Man

He turned 18 on Saturday. No fanfare, birthday cake, money, presents, nothing. No frowns, no outward emotion, may some hidden disappointment. He took it like the man he is. Eric has always been a kid who never asked for anything, taken many birthday and christmas disappoints its "no problem" or "I can wait until next payday, Dad" I am so proud of him. Things have never been easy and he tries to make me feel better about our situation. He has taught himself to play music, very independent. He never needs or wants help with anything. Never met a stranger, very pleasant, mostly very respectful. I am proud, what a great kid-young Man.
