My Darling Jon

MY DARLING JON I look at you with joy, just like when you were a little boy. You made my birthday better, the best birthday ever. It started with a birthday kiss, four minutes after midnight. Hours later, you brought breakfast, followed by lunch, although I was out. I got back and ate lunch and My! Oh! My! a strawberry short cake. Oh, what a feast! . It did not end there. As I went out and partied in the night, you gave the birthday card the next day. To my total surprised!!! It included an acrostic poem. As I read it, I was overwhelmed with happiness for your knack for words, just like your Mom and here it is, as you wrote it……. Marvelous soul indeed Awe-inspiring to others Ravishing beauty with style Imaginative, inventive, insightful Loving to family and friends Entertaining dancer and singer Notable in gatherings Encouraging the world with creative empowering poetry I am so proud of you son. I may not always show you; but I am. I am so awestricken how you see me and I am so amazed by you and your poem. Thank you. Thank you, Jonathan, my darling Jon.

Thanks, Sam. I guess, I owe three more... for my two daughters and my older son. Having kids is a lot of work and a lot of love.

Thank you, Andrea! I'm still drunk with glee and still celebrating my birthday. My younger daughter drove from Northern California and brought dinner for my birthday and we went out and partied. I'm heading to my older daughter in a couple of hours for she has a party for me.
