Happy Birthday, MLB. You are still the most energetic, fast-paced, enthusiastic kid I know. You would get up at 5 am and be outside playing golf or basketball until 11 pm if we would let you. You are crazy smart, have a fun sense of humor and are an awesome brother to Audrey. I love watching how excited you get (mostly) that she is taking up golf. When the two of you "debrief" hole by hole after your Sunday round together while cleaning clubs, my heart grows two sizes. I hope the two of you stay friends always. It's tough out there, you need each other. Her spazzy is a good balance to your serious - even if you don't always agree.
I can't believe high school is right around the corner, literally. No doubt, I will cry at your 8th grade graduation Sorry. I am not sad that we are here now, just proud of how far you have come and excited to see where you are going. I look forward to seeing what you do over the next four years. I know you won't follow me into the medical profession. You seem a little freaked out about the blood, body fluids, and numbers of naked people I see each day. It's not for everyone. You will find your thing. No hurry. But whatever it is, if you end up in an office, you are going to need a computer station on a treadmill. I don't see you sitting very long....ever.
I know my coolness factor has gone down but I don't think I embarrass you too much yet. As long as I can still occasionally beat you in a game of horse and run farther (not faster) than you, I think I might stay okay for a bit longer. I love that you still tell me you love me when you get out of the car at school in the morning. I know one day you might not be willing to say it so I will store it up for now.
I know there are times we drive each other crazy, but I know you also know that I am crazy about you. You are an awesome kid, Mason Bonn and I'm glad you are mine. I will love you forever. Happy 14th Birthday.
