Happy Birthday, Ron!



It is with immense pride that I recognize my son, Ron, today on his 38th birthday. I can't believe the little blonde, blue-eyed baby boy I held in my arms so many years ago is now 38. Even harder to believe, is how his age dates me. I feel very fortunate to be the mother of such a fine man and I appreciate so much about him. He's funny, responsible, talented, and he used to be handsome. You might find these latest pictures of him to be quite shocking. Perhaps it's the fact that he is turning 38 that caused him to slip into a mid-life crisis, but I was shocked to see what he'd done to his thick curly hair.


Ron has never paid much attention to the fact that his dark, golden locks might need to be trimmed. It's not unusual for him to go months without a haircut. I've mentioned a few times that he needs a haircut, to which he agrees, but nothing is done about it. Well, as you can see, he did something about it this week. He had his daughter, Candice, shave the top of his head bald, leaving the thick clumps of hair in the back and on the sides. He even threatened to do a comb-over. I admit he got a lot of laughs from everyone at work, customers and employees alike. My fear is that as the years go by, what will he do next. Perhaps an orange mohawk? He assures me he will show up at work with his head totally shaved. Maybe it will be an improvement, but I doubt it will be much of one.


Regardless of the damage he has done to the good looks he was blessed with, I still wish him a very happy birthday, complete with homemade chocolate chip cookies. He's invaluable to me at work, and even more invaluable to my life. He may have a new Bozo "do", but I love this kid.


Happy birthday, Ron. You're the best.

Only my brother would do this! Can't believe Candice was a willing accomplice. I guess I can say what Dad told me when I cut my hair right before he died, "I guess it will grow back."

Ah, can't wait until Ashton does this in 35 years. Something to look forward to.

Happy Birthday, Ron, you crazy lunatic!

You still can't get us to turn away even with that do......Now we can kiss your sweet little bald spot, and what women do to themselves to get those curls! Don't forget something though, the older you get the more people think...he needs a nice rest home....HAPPY BIRTHDAY....

Ron, hoping you had a terrific birthday and wishing you a fabulous 38th year.

If you care for a suggestion from your first cousin once removed it is, shave your entire head and then let it grow back.

Miss you, love you, hope 38 is the best year ever. Give our regards to your lovely children.

Best wishes,
Linda
