Hey, Hudson. I know what we’re going to do today...






Hudson turns 16 tomorrow.  THAT went by fast.  One word comes to mind to describe 16 years of life with Hudson:  FUN. 

“F is for friends who do stuff together, U is for u and me… N is for aNywhere, aNytime at all, under the deep blue sea…” Sponge Bob.

Children bring joy to their parents and to their loved ones.  That is a providential gift.  But Hudson is blessed with an unusual ability to bring laughter and smiles to everyone he meets, and I have had the unbelievable honor of having him in my family every day since 1997. I wish everyone were allocated as many smiles in their lifetime as I’ve had the past 16 years with H.  If you know Hudson, you’ll know that I’m not exaggerating.

It’s hard to write this, I’m laughing while I sit here thinking about it.

So Hudson, I miss you and wish I could be there on your birthday.  I’d ask you what you would like to do and we’d come up with some sort of plan that would involve the driving range, a few games of pool at Parkway, Mario Kart, Star Trek, hanging out at Chris and Rob’s, a trip to Barnes and Noble, a game of Risk and maybe an episode of Phineas and Ferb… yeah, the mini-golf episode... “You must not be seduced by the coolness!”  - Candace

You’re FABULOUS, Pal, and I’m lucky to be your Dad.  Happy Birthday!
