Yes, I say it every year: I am the luckiest person in the world. I get to be David’s mother. I might be a bit biased, but he is the greatest kid in the world. (Though what I usually say to him–when no one else is home–is that he’s the best kid in the whole house!) Today, he turned nineteen.
Each year I make portraits of him to celebrate his milestone. For his portraits to celebrate turning 19, he wanted to wear his favorite Irish sweater and cap. He’s about to embark on his college journey—in Dublin, Ireland. We know he’ll do great. His dad and I, on the other hand, might have a harder time as we’ve never been apart from him for long.
David looked different last year, and he will look different next year. These portraits mark this stage in his life. It’s one way we mark ours, too.
