26

my son celebrates his 26th birthday today.  technically, since we celebrate birthdays after we completed a year, he enters his 27th year of life.  technically for me he entered his 27th year of life in late October/early November of last year.  celebrating a birthday is mostly about enjoying the moments that comprise the memories of one’s live so far, and even more in the anticipation of more moments to celebrate next year at this time.  i have too many memories to recount here…and most of the memories are particularly dear to me and too intimate to share in this venue.  i can say this…my son is creatively talented beyond the limits imposed by the creative media that currently exist.  he’s always in the version of expressive arts that is the precursor to the beta versions that get tested.  he is the creator of prototypes mostly…that is where his mind goes.  i’m fascinated by his thought and manner and creations.  and just when you think you’ve captured a corner of his creative bent, he changes the proverbial palette and, if you are so inclined, you enter a new voyage to catch up.  i would chronically miss him if it weren’t for my intense desire to continue those voyages…it’s how i can stay connected to him in the absence of direct contact.

Happy Birthday Zack.  I love you intently.
