Such a beautiful boy! A cuddler from the beginning. So many adventures we had. Remember romps at Robert Frost Farm? Picnics under Jimmy the apple tree, dancing in the wild October wind as the leaves tumbled down around us, playing Pooh Sticks on the bridge over Hyla Brook. Remember hikes into Massabesic, roasting hot dogs on the lakeshore? Christmas Eve with visits from Santa?
You weren’t too thrilled with school, especially Math. But in your sophomore year, you got a teacher who loved you and you returned the favor. She still asks about you. And in your senior math class, you held the class and the teacher together. This is when I began to see your compassionate and gentle heart so clearly.
Thursday night dinners. Pizza, Chili and cornbread, Guinness Stew. You had your favorites. I was happy to oblige. Later when you fell in love, you and your beautiful wife came over together. Crazy pirate talk as we tried to mimic “Pirates of the Caribbean”.
You have given us so much joy!
