Like Kindy All Over Again.

Mr 17 in kindergarten:

My Mr 17 is back at school today. Although I am a little anxious I think he'll be okay. I keep looking at the phone expecting him to call me to pick him up. But it has not rang yet. After six weeks of spending almost every waking moment together, I miss him. It is quiet. Very quiet. And I miss him. Like kindergarten all over again.

The Day Our Life Changed, Forever

When the sun is high

Not a cloud in the sky

A breeze on our cheek,

On a late winter's day

We remember the year,

the day,

the moment,

That our life changed forever.

Friday 13th August 1993.

This day greeted the entry of our first-born. This calm, intelligent, sensitive and responsible young man has placed in our hearts an indescribable happiness.

The image you see above is of Mr 17. He is carrying his cousin who is 15 years his junior and virtually the exact image of him at that age.

Happy 17th birthday to you our son, our friend.
