Journaling: Before the boys and I moved to Florida, we used to go down to visit my father, who still lived in the house in which I grew up. A visit to Grandpa meant beach, boat and motorcycle!
I have always loved the sunshine, the beach, boating - anything to do with water. And my boys certainly take after me in that regard. Stephen, who in this photo was 7 years old, LOVES the water. The sand - well, he can take it or leave it. But the water is another matter. He would charge into the water, chasing the waves and pretending they were enemies of the realm and he was there to defend us and save the world.
Those were good times.
Stephen has always been my smiler. From the moment he wakes up, until the moment he falls asleep, he is smiling.
He will always be my little ray of sunshine.
