this boy



Today is this boy's 27th birthday!

This boy who:

eats chocolate chip cookies and chocolate Moose Tracks ice cream

listens to his favorite bands and their albums on his ipod in the same order every time he puts on his headphones

cracks me up with his witty sense of humor and creative comebacks

is up at 9am every weekday to watch The Price is Right at 10am

remembers everyone's birthdays and favorite sports teams

never says anything negative about anyone he knows

loves his cousins, aunts, uncles, grandparents, sister and parents

has memorized the entire Chicago Cubs 2011 season schedule (and every season for the past 15+ years)

asks everyone he knows if they've seen The Office, Galaxy Quest or That Thing You Do

does not like the Grand Canyon

loves to connect with friends and family on Facebook

hates to hear someone swear

teases his Grandpa DeRosa about not having any hair

can quote lines from his favorite songs and movies

would live in a hotel and eat at Arby's or Taco Bell everyday of his life if he could

is a faithful friend

has his father as his best friend

has hope that everyone he knows will become a Christian

patiently endured more in his 27 years than I ever could have imagined was possible


He is also my son

And I am his proud momma!

Happy Birthday, John Mark!
I love you!

"this MAN"

I see and feel the love... the proud endeavours you have for him... you keep remarking as this "boy:... I Love You. I Love Him.
This "boy" has emerged into a very compassionate, loving chiristian, wonderful young man. A wonderful young man you have absolutely every reason to be proud of.... he is 27... long after being respectfully a "boy".. no matter how old the parents are... ( Okay, I can see you still calling him your "baby" cause he always will be...lol).

He is a wonderful young man.. one that I am grateful to God he is in my life.
