IT SEEMS LIKE YESTERDAY

Twenty five years ago...........yesterday. We don't do a really great job of putting birthdays on the calendar every year. Sister number two was nine months gone plus a week or two. She finally started doing her thing. Emmanuel hospital in Portland has really nice brithing suites by the way. Anyhow, it was off and on. She suggested rather forcefully at one point that mom and I didn't have to stick around all the time. Translation: get the hell out of here. I want to yell. We took a walk around the block a few times. We hung out in the waiting room until the new dad burst through the door with "it's a boy; I gotta tell mom!!!!!!!!!!!!). That cute little baby is now 6' 3". He's a great young man. Still plays the drums at his church during the off season for tax prep. He gives great hugs.
