A Day Out

Day 142:

What a day for you, Conor...  Aside from the late start getting to school, you basically spent the whole day out of the house.   At the end of your day, Mommy picked you up and brought you to see Aunt Jennifer and Uncle Paul, Nathan, and Andrew, and Paul's Mom, Ms. Lee.  As for me?  Well, I went out and met the guys I ride motorcycles with, though in my heart of hearts I wanted to be where ever you are...

None the less, Mommy told me you had a great time hanging out with all your local extended family, and particularly Ms. Lee who wanted to do nothing more than dote on you and adore you as well as her own grandchildren, Nate and Drew.  Sounds like a good day, though I wouldn't know 'cuz I was there...

When I finally got home I went up to check on you and make sure you were snug as a bug in your bed, though I know you would be in Mommy's more than capable hands.  Still, I just had to have eyes on you, if only for a moment.  For I'm more proud of you each and every time I see your face, than anything else I've ever done in this life, Boy'O.

I love you, Son.  More than you'll ever know...
