Birthday 55

He was the happiest baby.
He had the cutest giggle.
He was my fishing buddy
...my movie buddy...
I've seen all of his concerts,
all of his parades, all of his marches.
Today, he can get tattooed....
Vote....
Go to war...
Without my permission!
Happy 18th Birth-Day Reese!!!
Your Father Loves You Very Much...

    Oh good, he must take after his mother in the looks department. :)

    Seriously, happy birthday to Reese. Gotta love a man in uniform. He will still be your buddy, just not always right there. Wait till he turn 21 and you take him down to your local watering hole.

    The hardest thing will be,
    to see him as thou sees ye.

    Talking face to face as men,
    Not only popa and son again.

    You've made sure that he knows,
    the difference of asses and elbows.

    The rest be up to him.

    stay Stompy.

    My vote for birthday present madness definitely goes with the tatt.

    I say a hottie jumpin' out of a birthday cake on his bicep baring her nicely shaped melons and perky nipples.

    It's bound to attract very interesting women his way for years to come!

    Promise.
