Short look at 16 years

Sixteen years ago today, Oldest was born.
Last year he came home from his high school health class,
during which they watched a video about childbirth,
and he apologized.

I told him I'd think about it.
Labor started Monday;
he was born Wednesday.

He said he understood.
I think he was worth the wait.

  2. I am so glad you are back! I missed your posts. This one did not disappoint. How you manage to be hilarious and poignant all at the same time is beyond me, but I love it!
