Thanks to all of you! I am still beaming! I'm sure I've told this story before on here, but where, I have no idea. But, he is my miracle child. He was born with a diaphragmatic hernia and had surgery when he was just two hours old. They had the helicopter ready to take him from Peoria to Chicago to put him on a heart/lung machine right after, but, thankfully, he pulled through with flying colors.
I spent hours, days, weeks in the neonatal unit with him. When they allowed me to bring him home, I was petrified still.
I had played classical music for my daughter when I was pregnant and changed it up, playing rock and roll for this child. There must be something to that because she played the violin for years and he now plays the guitar. Chemistry was the farthest thing from my mind.
Hey, he's a lefty! Congratulations ... to both of you. Where is he going to grad school? Has he applied of assistantships/fellowships? There are usually a ton of those for the sciences.
Wonderful video I feel like I know him just a little from the wonderful images you put together I am thrilled for you both, it is one of the happiest occasions to be "the" mom!
This was the most amazing video I've seen. It has everything from Mutant Ninja Turtles and Supersoakers to beer on the table and tuxedos. And my all time favorite Lynerd Skynerd Song. I was in tears for most of it. But you done great. Thanks for sharing this. Loved it, Kurt
Lois, the video was heart warming...you have every right to be so very proud of your children. You did good! I feel like I'm getting to know you a little bit better. I have so many good memories with you back in the day and I am so thrilled that you have done so well and have so much love surrounging you.
Come on in and make yourself comfy. Kick off your shoes... Coffee? Tea? Sit awhile and read… Express your thoughts. Any questions? Feel free to ask for I am a woman of a certain age and I do not fear my secrets. I welcome them for they have led me here, where I pour them out in written word. I'm also a Recovering Catholic, but I very much believe in a Higher Power. Those shoes you see in my title banner, I own those shoes... Stuart Weitzman Fever in patent leather red! We used to get out alot more, me and my shoes. So I decided to add them to my blog because, hey, I'm not dead yet!!
