Days of a Sampler Lover: The end of an era

The end of an era

He's been saying it for nigh on a year.

Every chance he gets.

He's ready for it.

Even if I'm not.

So I guess I'd better get used to it.

Cause it's true as of today.

My boy is no longer a teenager.

Happy birthday, Mr. Twenty Year Old. How did that happen? I love you.
