I'm so proud of him for the way he lives his life, the choices he has made that are so entirely different from mine at that age. Sure he's had his issues, been a typical teen, and driven me to the point of ripping out my own hair occasionally, but for the most part he has been an obedient, respectful, understanding, and loving child. I have been so incredibly lucky to have him in my life. I can't take all the credit for the way I have raised him, I give half of it to Rudy who is such an awesome Dad . I have made plenty of mistakes as a mom, but somehow Cory forgave me for everyone of them and just keeps on showing me every day how much he loves me.
Happy 18th Birthday my sweet Cory! Mommy loves you!
