Today is my little boy's birthday.

Well he isn't such a little boy any more. Heck even his boys are quickly scooting past the the "little" stage.

Off with them, the love of his life, camping and having the life I so wanted for him. Life is good.

I have set here leafing though the memories of the different years today. The hard ones, the easy ones, and now the ones from afar away punctuated with phonecalls, scribble notes on the the backs of pictures, and rare visits. Escapes from my quiet life of senior servitude.

I guess I am realizeing just how long the job goes. You think when they are younger that they will grow up and leave you but they never do. They are there; in your heart, in every breath you breath, in the acheing arms and shimmering eyes that kiss the calendar and say thank you for the gift they are.

Happy Birthday Little Boy.

Happy Birthday all little boys and girls; call home, someone there loves you.

happy belaude birthday to him dear.. True, kids never grow old in their parents eyes..
