Yep, this same little guy has just turned 21 today. It's quite amazing really. I am going to sound like an old lady when I say this but he has grown up so fast. In fact, he's starting work tomorrow - which is even harder to get my head around (though it's not full-time yet, it is still the first step career-wise).
It's weird! I mean, I remember when he was born man! All of a sudden my mum had a baby in her tummy and then one day my dad took me and Adrian to the hospital where my mum was lying in bed with a little baby in her arms. I wanted to call him 'Polly', Dad said 'how about Caleb?', I still thought Polly was the go - but thought Caleb had a nice ring to it too (I thought it was a horse's name at the time - but what would I know, I was only 3). And there was the start of many years of good times, laughs and priceless memories.
And now Polly, I mean Caleb, is all grown up into a young man who is about to start working life. It's a strange feeling, but I am also really proud of the little guy. He is really talented (as a designer, as a guitarist, in sports, in getting along with people, in making me laugh) and I reckon, as a person, he is a genuinely nice guy.
So to my little sai-lo... Happy Birthday Special K. Hope the years ahead will see you continue to grow more and more into the man that God has purposed you to be!
