Oh my heck, I cannot believe he is 17 already! I loved watching the slide show, I definitely remember a lot of those younger days. Very fun! Happy Birthday Austin!
I'm still dabbing tears...
I've never met you Austin, but it's plain to see what a blessing you are to your family and how lucky you are to have them too.
Happy Birthday*!*
myfabfive3ewow--they do grow up fast. I also don't have the pleasure of knowing Austin but i also was wiping tears--what a neat spirit your family is blessed with--by the way i love the hair in the blessing picture--i had a "do" just like it at that time---maybe thats why i was crying

WOW ... I could hardly read the words, listen to the music and get through the video clip as my tears were running down my face so fast. What an awesome bithday page!
The words of the song say it best, Austin... you'll be in my heart and in the heart of the lives of the many people you have touched now and forever more. This precious, sweet little boy, who has all too quickly grown into a young man has taught us more than we will ever teach him. So many don't understand, this is all too true. The bond is strong and grows stronger every day of every year we know him. Now and forever more, you will be in our hearts. The words of the song tell it all so well.
Thanks for sharing these precious glimpses from Austin's life with us. Love ya, love ya! Austin. Happy Birthday wishes from Oma & Opa.
I could not hear the music, but i was crying just from the pictures. Those were the best pictures. I'm just glad I get to be in his life. Happy Birthday Austin! We love you tons.
