FATHERHOOD

again, i say ... "i chose wisely."

one of the recurring themes in my lectures to my boys is that when they are looking at women as potential mates, they should always keep in mind that they are choosing the mother of their children. sobering thought, yes?

so, i celebrate my choice today. the father of my children, it was a wise choice.

happy fath's day, will. we love you.

in a related (sorta, kinda) matter, the "guest" room is now occupied by TWO young men, jackson AND his very good friend, drew, who found himself homeless (or WOULD HAVE) shortly after grduating from high school. everybody, say hello to drew.

Firstly, I would like to say,"hey Jackson!" Having read your mom's archives on the blogsite, I have learned quite a bit about you. I am very proud of the courage you have shown in the AA program, and in your personal recovery. I realise the two are not exclusive of one another, actually. It also sounds like you are quite the talented "dude" with your music. I love blues; perhaps you could honor me with your lovely presence when I get back to Cleveland for a visit, and play/sing for me. I suppose you could say I am your step-aunt; although, I never referred to my sisters as "step" , so I don't really prefer to start now. Can't wait to meet you someday Jackson; love ya already! Hey Drew! You have a very lovely and safe haven while bunking over with my sister and her husband; and, of course, your dear friend Jackson! Enjoy your stay with them, and the peace you'll find there...blessings, Trace

Welcome to the nuthouse, Drew! ;-) Brave boy. ROFL! Kidding, of course. You couldn't have found a home with more love. Smooches to all there.

I agree that you need some estrogen in the house, so I have just decided that I should spend my summer vacation with you.

Except I'm not taking a vacation, so I guess I'll just email a lot.

Not quite the same, is it?

Welcome, Drew!

Does he blog?

I have always known that you and Bill are just plain good folk, obviously all your sons' friends know that too!

Hello Drew. I'd say you've come to the right place.
