Born to Donald and Tonja Owens…Adam Ryan Owens…6/3/75…9 pounds! 
My eldest, my heart…you have struggled and overcome. You have the kindest soul and a genuine love for those who are suffering. You help these people everyday with courage and wisdom and compassion. This mother’s heart overflows with happiness. I am so proud of you. What a fine husband you are, a loving father to Levi, and a blessing to all of us in the family. I love you. Happy 40 th!
I am a Christian woman who has survived many years on the planet. God has blessed me with a wonderful family: husband, 3 sons, a dear DIL, and a precious grandson. I also have dear friends to keep me inspired. I am an artist of sorts and am finding my way through the great blessing of retirement. I recently retired after 20 years as a music teacher. Life is good!
Hello, my name is Everly. I am a blogger living in New York. This is my blog, where I post about interior design and decoration. Never miss out on new stuff.
These pictures and your tribute are just priceless, Tonja!!
Love all the photos. Great post. Happy 40th Birthday Adam!
What a lovely, loving tribute to such a fine young man, such a wonderful husband and father, such a remarkable human being on all counts.
At first glance, I thought the "album" would be an array of his sublime photography over the years, and knew that Pop's motorcycle boots would be one of the outstanding events. This is even more precious—a whole life that you nourished and nurtured and guided into such a good example and remarkable son, brother, husband, father and man.
Happy Birthday to your ADAM, and twice as many more.

Best wishes to Adam for a lifetime of happy birthday celebrations. I loved seeing the pictures, and think Levi looks a lot like his daddy did when he was little. Such a sweet post, Tonja … hope everything is going well for you, and I pray that Alex is having more good days than bad ones. I think of him often.
