Yesterday the BH (better half) and I met my son for lunch at Salt Grass to celebrate his 22nd birthday. While converting VHS tapes to DVDs I ran across one that we made when he was born consisting of the first weeks of his life from hospital, drive home, first diaper change, meeting the friends and relatives up to first Lamaze group get together two months later. Received a call a few hours after returning home from lunch and he was laughing while viewing DVD calling BH and I crazy parents. Boy does time fly by fast. He is finishing his last semester at college and will graduate with a Business Degree from a recognized business college. I am very proud of him and consider it an honor to call him my son. He is by every means a mini me in looks habits and mannerism as in being shy and reserved and now works out all the time. Its a delight to see him mature and the eerie resemblance to myself down to breaking his arm the same age, day, time and place I did at his age. There are difference's though, my path out of high school was US Navy for four years then college for four year on GI Bill where he went direct to college. He is great at chess and I suck at it. I am very mechanical minded and he could care less about tinkering with anything. He will soon be entering the business world and starting his own mark on life. I wish him the best and he will always be my son that I am very proud to love.
By the way I also have a beautiful almost 20 year old daughter who is in her second year at college on her way to being a teacher. I am very proud of her, love her to death and the level headiness she possesses. I do pity the person she marries though.
