So you won't forget me!

I was doing some mucking out the other day and noticed something on my shelf that in no way was going to get thrown out.

A year or so ago I went to visit my sister's family in San Jose for a weekend. My favorite dimpled boy, Gehrig, excitedly gave me a flag holder he had made at a Father/Son activity. When he handed it to me, he said, "Here, Auntie! This is for you - so you won't forget me!"

It was so sweet but it kind of broke my heart that he thought I could ever forget about him. Every Christmas when I see him, I hold him in my arms (even though he's 7 and almost too cool for that) and tell him the story about the day he was born. I tell him how I held him and kissed his little nose because it was just such a cute little beak - and he still has the most kissable little beak!



So G-man, I will NEVER forget about you, even though I don't get to see you that often!

Oh, and summer's coming so I'm looking forward to having you come visit for a special date!
