Happy birthday, Taylor!

Today marks the 16th anniversary of Tator Bug's blessed entry into the world. And the world has revolved around him since.

I was 19 at the time and thought the world still revolved around me. A friend told me, during Christmas in 1991, to enjoy the last holiday that was all about me. Boy, was she ever right.

But I gladly give up my place at the center of the universe for my sweet, fat little baby boy. He's grown up quite nicely and turned into an amazing young man.

So happy 16th birthday to my beloved nephew. I wish you health and much happiness.

This is Taylor and me, in May 1993, just before Lonnie's high school graduation.
