Twenty years, nine hours and forty seven minutes ago I gave birth to a funny, round-headed, thin-limbed creature called Ming. Happy birthday, beautiful boy-man! Anthony and I love you very much.

It’s apparent how much you love your son. I adore my two sons and daughter. The birth of a child connects our soul with their flesh. It is a depth of love that can take your breath away. Julie, you are definitely breathless!!!!
Thank you so much for this beautiful comment, Judy.
Happy Birthday Ming!!!!!!
He is gobsmacked by all the b’day wishes – haha!
One of the great joys in life is the birth of a child. How lucky you are to not only have Ming’s presence in your lives, but to have celebrated his life each day with unconditional love.
Hope it continues well into the future – he is such a precious gift (and hope his Birthday is a good one too).
His party is coming up (70 kids – yikes!) May I hide at your place?
Too late, Julie.
The Party’s on & the hordes are coming.
Hope you all have a great time.
Hopefully it’s cooler over your side of Oz than it is here – summer’s well & truly arrived in Melbourne this week (& next).
Happy birthday to Ming.
Thanks Anneli!
Happy Birthday Ming!
Thanks Diana!
Bet it doesn’t feel like twenty years, I know it is hard at times to think my youngest is now 24, hope he had a great day
How time flies!
Well a happy birthday to Ming.. and may there be so many more…
Thanks bulldog!
A very happy birthday Ming ! Your Mum’s blog paints you as a fallen saint and her as a dishevelled protagonist, but as much as I would like to ‘Black Books’ you both..it is unfortunate, as I see you as both far from dysfunctional. Congratulations on kicking shit through a horrible situation ( only Queens have horribilus annuses). Live long and prosper, and don’t read Spock. With love, your Meg’s surrogate tag along, David

It has taken me awhile to get to the comments on the infamous Ming’s birthday blogpost and now finally I am doing so! Thanks David, not just for this, but for being Meg’s surrogate ‘tag along’ – ps. I actually thought you were spam for a sec. haha! Love to you all.
Happy Birthday Ming…he is an awesome man-in-the-making..
I am beginning to think he might be a chimp too as his arms are sooooo long they almost reach his knees – quite disturbing ha!
My son had a bit of that physique too – he grew into those arms and they still provide the best hugs!
Happy birthday you handsome hunk–no I am not a cougar in disguise–just telling the truth!
Well he has never been called a hunk before – this made his day!
I cannot believe that!
Happy Birthday Ming!!!!!
I have now read him all the wishes – thanks so much!
Happy Birthday, Ming!

Happy Birthday Ming!

Congratulations to all of you! What a gift you’ve given the world by birthing such an awesome son!
Mmm – okay awesome, yes, mostly, but his nickname is Grumpy!
Happy Birthday Ming!! 🙂
Thanks Paulette!
how cool, happy birthday ming!
Haha – thank you!
All children are special to their moms but there is a connection between mothers and sons that most definitely cannot be denied. I know that connection well. Happy Birthday to Ming. xo dale..Brandon’s Mom
Thank you Dale – so so much. In light of your loss of Brandon, I am in tears that you acknowledged Ming. No words suffice. With love – Julie.
Ming, Happy Birthday, you have grown into a great young man, and have made your Mom very proud. Take care, Bill
Thanks Bill!
Happy birthday, Ming. You probably remember the day like it was yesterday, Julie.
Yes! Thanks so much Jane.
Happy birthday Ming!
Thank you very much, Ritika!
Happy Birthday Ming!! We are all rooting for you. You are a brave young man. Hugs and well wishes from South Africa.
Tersia you are so generous to say this – thank you.
Happy birthday Ming!
Thanks Trisha!
Happy birthday from Texas, Ming! If I could, I’d send you some proper barbeque and some fine bock ale, but I suspect you’ll find a way to celebrate anyhow!
Oh that bock ale sounds good but what is it?
Happy Birthday Ming!
Thanks Linda!
What a wonderful photo! And interestingly enough, a couple of years ago when I began blogging it was just before my younger son’s birthday. So when his day arrived I used the exact same title 🙂 . Aren’t we so proud of our wonderful man-boy’s? Hugs to you, Gina
Serendipity! Thanks Gina.
Love the photo. Happy birthday!
Thank you Ann!
A belated happy birthday to Ming. Sons are so special, aren’t they? Love the photo. 🙂
Thanks and I will give him your wishes!
Ming’s a Capricorn! So are my mom, one of my writing friends, and my husband. I’m partial to that sign:)
