This is my beloved son........
Hugh was born twenty one years ago today. He has brought nothing but sunshine and joy into my life and continues to do so for everyone that he meets.
Happy Birthday Darling.
Six months old, and, unbeknown to me, just storing up the energy to bawl his way through a (rare) grown ups dinner party!
Two and a half years old - just started at Norland Nursery School
Seven years old, at Thorngrove Prep School - always smiling
Risen through the ranks at school - Deputy Head Boy at nearly fourteen years old
Sixteen years old - practising to be a Rock Star - off to a Korn concert
Living the Dream - receiving his Diploma in Music (Vocals) three weeks ago - Stage One in becoming the Rock Star.
Though stardom would be fun, Hugh is wise enough to know that it's mostly a dream. This guy only wants to sing, write songs and play sax. Music is his passion - any chance he gets to perform, it is a passion he can share. So, until stardom comes..... the love of music is enough for him.
Continue to have a wonderful life, my son.
Happy Birthday to Hugh and congratulations on earning the Diploma in music.
He seems to have his Mom's wonderful smile.

Oh, Roz, I'm sure it seems like only yesterday. Heck, it seems that way to ME, from prior pictures. Amazing how a young man can grow in several years, isn't it. Congratulations to Hugh on reaching this wonderful life milestone!

I've raised my cuppa to you, High, and wish you a Happy Birthday and a life's journey that is challenging and joyful. And to your Mum, who was there 21 years ago, Happy Birth Day to you, too.

Roz, what a cutie he is. And congratulations on getting his diploma too. Lucky you, to have a sax player around. Happy Birthday to you, Hugh, and happy sax-ing too.

Wow, good looking dude, this one--and his momma is a doll, too. I could swear you have your make-up on in his birth picture. Happy birthday, Hugh, happy that you gave birth day to you, Roz, and congrats too on that diploma in music. What a grand tribute to a beloved son.

What a fabulous romp back through time in photos. I so enjoyed seeing these through the years. You look just as gorgeous today as you did then, Roz. And happy HAPPY birthday to both Hugh AND to you.
