Brooks –
It’s been such an upside down year. I often wonder how you will remember the year you started middle school in midst of a pandemic. This year feels like a milestone. I think in my mind I thought by 12 you wouldn’t want us around. I now know how wrong I was. You need us more than ever this year with so many new things happening in your life. And we are here for you every step of the way.
I am so incredibly proud to be your Mom! You are kind, responsible, and sensitive. You take charge if a leader is needed but you are also happy to work in the background. You are driven and competitive and can handle new challenges. Whether it’s walking into a new school or trying an activity for the first time, you take it on and succeed and make new friends along the way.
Your Dad and I love you so dearly. We enjoy laughing, talking, and just being with you. We will always be here supporting you and loving you. Happy 12th!
Mom
Sounds like his mom at that age.
