15th Birthday Will!

 Will, 

You turned fifteen-years old on June 23rd! It's taken me a min. to put these photos in your book and write about it, but I don't want you to forget how likable you always have been! 

A few memorable things about you turning 15 are that you really really don't want to get older! Wow, if you knew how we feel as your parents, we don't want to get older either or for you to for that matter! You have the wisdom of someone who is older and that why you recognize this! While a lot of kids can't wait to get older you said, " I know that's going to be more stressful to have to pay for myself as an adult and responsibility of a job and harder school work. " 

You are going to do amazing as an adult Will, and I know because you give adult wisdom. 

The other day I was upset about a company charging me for a service I did not receive and I was kind of stressing mad and you asked whats wrong? You can always tell the stress level of those around you Will. I told you what happened and you said, " It doesn't do anything good to be mad so you should just call the bank dispute it and turn the other cheek." I didn't even know you knew that scripture too well. I said, " You know that scripture? " You said, " Yes, and it's one of my favorite scriptures. Jesus said to turn the other cheek. " I decided I quickly would because of you mentioning it. I was just tired and you were right I needed to forget about it and just do something I could when I could. 

On your birthday your kindness showed as lots of friends came and they all knew you like stuff for the gym and you actually introduced many of them to lifting weights to begin with.

Even though you are stronger than all of them when I asked everyone to take a flexing pose photo only your most silly friend did it and you are always humble about your muscles even though your friends talk about you benching more than any of them. 

You are doing a good job in getting ready for wrestling this year with some wrestling camps this summer and you are wise enough to tell me on your own you are going to start your bed earlier to be ready for school.
