My son wrote a book on his birthday

[Robinrs]

Well, not a book but a PAGE from a book. He's been tick ticking at his computer for the past hour and just handed me this...

**excuse the typos and the run on sentence, he just turned 11 and writes like he talks... ***

A GOOD MOM
by MICHAEL SHIPMAN

A good mom is like Robin Shipman she is a good mom beacouse she never treats me bad unlike my father MY mom has lost so much in her life I don't know how she deals with it but she is my MOM no matter what and I love her forever.

There are so many MOms in this world my MOm and other Moms are great. My Mom is great

A good MOM is someone who never lets you down and stands by your side all the time and alway got your back.

A little background....

I have a little bit of a problem with birthdays now.... My Dad died on mine last year.

My son told me he hopes he doesn't have a bad birthday, like a fool I told him at least yours won't be as bad as mine. ... ... he told me not to feel that way, that I should be thrilled that my Dad chose that day to hold onto because he wanted to be there on my birthday.

He knew I needed his book... what a tribute from such a selfless child of a big BABY...

Right now he's down on the floor of our family room playing with his pals watching Freaky Friday and playing with his GI Joes. Funny, Freaky Friday is how I see today, when he became the Mom and I became the child.

What a day...

He truly is a son that treasures his mom. What a caring boy you have!
