About this time on this date in 1984 the doctor entered the waiting area to inform me that Evie had given birth to Jonathan. That day remains vivid and will remain a cherished memory. He remains dear to my heart today as he did that day I first held him. Today a host of images flash across my mind from the early steps, to him playing with our dogs, from elementary school concerts to his high school concerts, from helping him to learn to ride a bike to helping him learn to drive.
Though Jonathan has long entered the adult world and no longer needs to be held and cuddled by his father (I will leave the cuddling to Maggie thank you), he will always be my son and I will be there for him.

Maggie is your main cuddle, now, but a mother is always entitled to a hug now and then, too. :)
