Happy 22nd Birthday Christopher!

I can't believe it's been 22 years since that Wednesday morning I headed to Kaiser and spent 10 1/2 hours in labor with contrations a minute and a half apart; all natural.  I spent most of that time in the shower with the hottest water I could stand aimed at my lower back.  I think of you on average 20 times a day and wonder if you're graduating college this year or next and what you want to do in the future.  I wonder if you love Santa Cruz as much as your birth father and I did.  I wonder if you know where the beach with the "cliff toilet bowl" ocean wave break is.  I love and miss you and pray for you every day.  I know your happy and healthy and loved and that is what my dream for you was.  I also want to send love to your folks who are the single best parents I could've ever chosen for you.  Happy Birthday Christopher.
