He was named John Lee, after grandpa John and his dad, Donald Lee.
He has always been "Johnny" to us.
I think he stayed at my house every weekend until he was "grown up".
When he had to go home I always cried.
He practically stayed the entire summers when he was old enough for my youngest daughter to watch him while I was at work.
He went on every vacation with us.
When he was five years old, he got his first nintendo.
He loved playing it.
When he was a little older, he got the game "The Legand of Zelda", which was his favorite.
When I was shopping for his birthday gift, I saw the t-shirt pictured below and just had to get it for him.
He is all grown up now and he and his wife are expecting a little girl on March 27th.
He will always be "my little boy".
