You Are My SonShine

Parker...my baby boy.  Gosh, where do I start?
Parker was my first experience with unconditional love.  You may ask...what about others...my parents, etc.  Yes I have unconditional love for them too, however, Parker was the first to make me recognize and understand the concept.

 Parker has had a trying and difficult year.  He has made good choices and some not so good ones.  He has tried me just like most teenagers do at some point. He's so much like me it's scary (which isn't always a good thing).  Even though I haven't always been the greatest parent, I think he has turned out to be a fine young man. 
I wish I had the power to shield him from the bad things/people in the world. It's sad that some people concentrate on the negatives instead the great things...but that's how this world has become.
I love him, so dearly and I am proud to call him my son.
