Twelve years ago today, at a few minutes past four in the morning, I gave birth to the light of my life, my wee baby boy, Thomas.
Who would have thought that twelve years would go by so fast or that he would grow into such a cheeky wee monkey!!!
He takes after both his Granddads. You can see the twinkle in his eye before he even opens his mouth! And he has an immediate answer for everything!! I can also see the beginnings of the ability to waffle, with seemingly endless knowledge, on any topic you care to throw at him (whether he actually knows what he's talking about, or not!!)!
He is also a sensitive wee soul, full of compassion and empathy, always supporting the under-dog. He is always the first in the area to welcome a new boy and make sure he doesn't get left out of any games that may be going on. And he is, by his own admission, the coolest boy in school!
Of course, he sings like an angel. He is incredibly able and intelligent....and did I mention how handsome he's getting?? In fact, I could sum him up in a few short words....witty, erudite and boyishly handsome!.....Gosh, now who does that remind me of????
Before I get completely carried away (by the little men in white coats!!!), I should just say that today I am grateful for my darling boy, Thomas George Joyce.
Gratefully yours.

A gorgeous boy indeed! Hope he had a good day! xx
