Ocean City 2001

for Jake He is a sun-bronzed god reigning in my heart, with his regulation golf course hair and sturdy legs; winning smile, and eyes that reflect mine except that his twinkle. He stands, indignant and proud, with all the power his 5 1/2 year old ego can muster. He is sweet with the affection only an innocent heart can bestow. He is my best work. My only son.

I feel your pain. I also have three grown daughters. He is the baby at 19. He's still intimidated by girls (with good reason, lol), so I think you're safe, Ralph.
