Tucker is a strong boy, he has always had such a strong sense of right and wrong, and he stands by the right thing.
Tucker is smart, and I am not just saying this because I am his Mother, I have other children that I would not say this about… the boy is brilliant. I have not been able to help him with homework for years now, he almost has a photographic memory. In second grade he read the entire Lord of The Rings series, by himself, in 3 months. He didn’t get credit for it at school though, because it wasn’t on the list for elementary school students. Tucker has always been able to understand concepts that were complicated for even adults.
I love this boy so much, he is turning into a wonderful man. I am so proud of him and love him for the wonderful spirit that he brings into our home. I have such special feeling for him because he was my first and I had so much time with just him. I feel like we grew up together. I had him when we were in college, it was a really long winter that year. Paul would leave for school at 8am and get home from work at 11pm. I sat with Tucker all day in our little cinder block wall, 600 square foot apartment, just the two of us, all that lonely cold winter, and the next winter as well. I just talked to him all day.

Tiffany you absolutely must from now on put warnings on those post that may require Kleenex during and after reading! You have gotten me, unexpectedly, quite a few times now.
HAPPY 12th BIRTHDAY TUCKER!!
Oh you got me all teary, I feel a lot the same way about my oldest. It's amazing how much they teach us isn't it! Such a beautiful post, 12 years old, wow!
aw what a special post! happy birthday to your sweet boy 🙂
I remember hanging out in Iowa the week before he was born, at the haircut parlor place.. getting cookie bouquets… waiting… hanging out… and then finally in the middle of the night hearing Grandma's old loud phone ringing .. steps across the kitchen floor from the basement, mumbled voices and then learning you had a baby boy! I was so bummed I wasn't there at the hospital! … Anyway-Happy Birthday Tucker! I can't believe its been 12 years!
What a sweet, sweet tribute to a lovely boy!
Sweet post! I don't blame him for not forgiving you for sending him down the Snake River; that looks SCARY!
happy bday. he sounds like a great little guy
