Seth’s 21st birthday is coming to a close and I’m thinking about how proud I am of him. He’s quiet and sensitive and has such a good heart. He often acquiesces to the stronger wills of his brother and sister…poor kid hasn’t even tried to call “shotgun” in the car in years…but he knows how to dig his heels in about the things that are really important to him. His smile has been coming more easily in the past year…and that is the best thing ever! He loves talking pro tennis with me…him and I are taking a trip to the BNP in Palm Springs next March…and loves trying new foods…especially anything Asian. He’s just a great young man.
In true Seth style he said he “didn’t care” about his birthday…but then got home early from work and sat and chatted with me while he ate dinner and drank his first legal rum and Dr. Pepper. I’m not a rum-drinker so that bottle of 5 barrel from Belize had to be dusted off a bit…lol
Do you ever get sucked into those videos on social media of reunions between members of the military and their families? Like the kid is at school doing his school stuff and then turns around and suddenly his Dad is there. I got sucked into the social media black hole of watching those tonight. I wish that would happen with Jason…sure could use him tonight. Some nights “alone” feels more lonely than others…tonight is one of those.
