I have five wonderful grandchildren. Tommy is one of them.
He’s not the only boy; I have four grandsons: Mikey, Brandon, Tommy and Patrick. His sister, Madeline, has the distinction of being my only granddaughter.
Tommy is not the oldest; that would be his big brother, Mikey.
Tommy is not the youngest; that’s his cousin, Patrick. He is the youngest in his immediate family, though.
He is also known for his kindness, generosity of spirit and exceptional sense of humor. When he was still a baby, his mother noted that Tommy was finding his place in her large family by being the most sweet-natured of all of them. He almost always has a welcoming smile on his face. When he visited me on Beaver Island two years ago, he made new friends every day. Being shy myself, I was continually impressed with his easy conversational abilities. He is a very special young man.
Still, he’s one of five. So, why is Tommy showing up on my blog today? Well, conveniently, his name begins with the letter T. More importantly, though, tomorrow is Tommy’s 16th birthday. That earns him a spot in my April A~Z challenge.
Happy Birthday, Tommy!

Happy birthday, Tommy! Your grandmother is clearly very proud of you, and we know her to be a good judge of character so that says a lot.
Thank you from Tommy, and from me!
Happy Birthday Tommy!
Tommy thanks you, as do I!
