35

My eyes popped open at 1:34 am. This is a special time of a special day. Today is not only Father's Day but it is also my son's 35th birthday. June 19, 1981 at 1:34 am, my life really began. It was followed by other wonderful memorable moments, but this one led the way. I remember it as if it was yesterday. The first moment I looked into those sky blue eyes and patted his white blond head, the world stood still and nothing around me mattered. I had the best gift on earth. How did 35 years fly by so fast? I was ten years younger than he is now when I had him. They say that days drag and years fly. I still look at him with wonder. That beautiful baby has fulfilled every expectation I had for him. He is a father of two daughters and today will be his special day in many ways. I love you B.
