twenty-four

July 1999

Happy Birthday to my second son, the energetic one and the child that still "checks-in" most often. He has become a thoughtful adult but I do miss the days when he would come downstairs an hour after bedtime for a chat and reassurance. As he returns to graduate school to leave the world of business behind and start a path to environmental sciences, we know he will succeed. He's at that age where I now see a handsome man and not that little boy any more. Makes my heart ache and yet also makes me feel completely happy. He loves life and makes the most of every adventure. Now he is out there in the world - I pray for him to have a joyful life. I hope he knows how much he is loved.
