He’s the man

written by Jana April 8, 2012

Today GameBoy turns 18.  And…I think it might be time for a new moniker, he is no longer my Gameboy (although, of course, he will always be my boy).

My life changed forever on the morning he was born.  I learned then what it’s like to care more about another person’s life than about my own.  He was the greatest gift that I’d ever been given, and I still think he’s 100 percent totally and completely perfect, just because he is himself.
cowboy weejeeham!

In a few months he’ll be moving on to the next phase of his life (right now, it’s looking like Portland and Lewis&Clark College are on the horizon for him but that’s not yet fully decided).  I will surely be shedding many tears as I launch him from the nest this fall.  But…I also just can’t wait to see what he will become!

it's his birthday

He seems like a wonderful and inquisitive young man – you’re a very lucky mother :) Best of luck to Game’boy’ and everything he does in the future x

About Me

About Me

Hi there friend, and welcome to my blog. I started writing on the internet two decades ago. Since then I've started and finished a PhD program, left the Mormon church and became a Quaker, got divorced, remarried, found full-time work in academia, took up rock climbing and outrigger canoeing, and traveled across the globe (China! Belgium! Italy! Chicago! Montana! Portland! Gettysburg! and oh-so-many points in-between). This blog is eclectic and random--it has poetry and cooking and books. And cats. And flowers. And the ocean (my ocean). But in that sense it's a good reflection of me and my wide-ranging, far-reaching, magpie curiosity.
