I echo Jocelyn. At the computer, crying. Juniper will never be that old or she will be in a nanosecond.

Your words are wonderful.

You must know I am crying. I miss you, and not just because I can’t write my stupid essay… but spider? Gross! I love you too.

You know how sometimes we read a blog post and then sit and cry in front of our computers? Yea?

That’s me right now.

This is your best so far, pal ‘o mine. And thanks for always showing me where my life is heading.

Wow,

What a lovely summary of the roller coaster years. When it’s tough we always say, “This too will pass.” And how it does pass, in a blur that eases the locked wills and highlights the relationships.

Thanks for your thoughts so well expressed.

Nice. Gave me chills, and I teared up, though I’ll never admit it. I’m going to write about Ron, I think in a minute. Something that took place last night in the tv room/music studio.

Steve,
It sounds like you have a pretty awesome daughter. I couldn’t imagine getting on stage like that. You also seem to be experiencing the typical parent reaction of when a child becomes an adult. I remember my 18th well, my mom wouldn’t stop reminiscing about every little thing I’ve ever done. I’m sure you and Kylie are both feeling much of the same emotions right now. You’ll always remember these times. It sounds like she has a great dad too.
