It seems impossible to me that our first born has reached the age of thirty. I am very proud of Kyle for all that he has accomplished and of the man he has become. Seemingly, in the blink of an eye he has grown from the cutest baby into a bonafide adult. I feel fortunate that I was there for all of it. Every soccer game, chess tournament, piano recital, trip to the ER, camping excursion, prom, graduation, and all the rest. I am very happy that we still spend time together, working side-by-side on his house and discussing our work lives. My hope is that he will one day share the indescribable joy I have experienced of being a father to a child like him.
