Birthday Wishes

It's hard to believe that it's been so long since it seems like only yesterday that we met for the first time. Where has the time gone? It's passed as quick as a wink. I hear the clock ticking as our time together is growing shorter. You look so grown up in your uniform with your Star rank upon your chest and yet I can still see the little boy who was afraid of not getting to wear the Tiger there at all. You've come a long ways and have far yet to go but you'll always be my baby and I'll swear we just met... Happy 15th Birthday to my little man.
