Wendy, I love that you love my son so much, and that you know him so well.You described all of the characteristics that he had growing up, that I loved too, and I'm glad that I got to make the very first comment. It's only fitting,that the two women who love him best in all the world should be the first to say so.
The photo is awesome, it confirms all that you wrote. I especially love your last reason!!!
Well, it was the first comment when I started writing it!!
Please note that Mom Penny said Wendy "described all of the characteristics that he had growing up, that I loved too" and not "all of the characteristics you described I loved, too", which would have been awkward. As I recall, I did not have copious amounts of body hair as a child. For example.
happy new year 37 and cohort.
[there, now you're first]
Thank you, how considerate,I just took too long typing my message!
Such touching sentiments. No shame in public displays of affection - good for you. And that's a great picture, you two almost middle-aged lovebirds.
Love the pic! You two look great! Happy Belated JP! What a great list of 37 things over the past few (or maybe not so few) years - good work Wendy!
