18 TODAY IN NEW YORK...

Today is my son Jullien's 18th birthday. I already blogged about his almost 18th birthday, which we celebrated early knowing that he would be in New York again on the actual day. I miss him so much, but I'm proud of him and excited that he is able to travel and see the world.

I never would have pictured him having a career in modeling. He was my only son who HATED to have his picture taken. He would hide and when I'd find him, he refused to smile. Most of the pictures I have are with him scowling.

Life's a funny thing!

My son, the ultimate athlete. The all-star on every team, in every sport. His will and determination to be the best is like nothing I've ever seen before. He is fearless. A quality that I admire so much. I think too many of us let fear control our lives. Jullien has taken this opportunity and ran with it. At 18 years old, he has so much ahead of him...he has learned the importance of seizing the moment. I love him and am so grateful that I was blessed with such an AMAZING son.

JULLIEN=Character, integrity, sense of humor, loving, compassionate, determined, loyal, and trustworthy. I couldn't be prouder of the man you've become.
