I share one of my favorite poems written about Kids:<br /><br />Children are Like Kites<br />by Erma Bombeck<br /><br />You spend a lifetime trying to get them off the ground.<br /><br />You run with them until you are both breathless.They crash. They hit the rooftop.You patch and comfort, adjust and teach.<br /><br />You watch them lifted by the wind and assure them thatsomeday, they will fly.Finally, they are airborne;They need more string and you keep letting it out;<br /><br />But with each twist of the ball of twine,There is a sadness that goes with joy.The kite becomes more distant and you know it won't be long before thatbeautiful creature will snap the lifeline that binds you two together andwill soar, free and alone.<br /><br />Only then do you know that you did your job.<br /><br /><br />L.

I remember when we were sitting there together and he leaned over to tell me. Rare are the moments when someone has such wonderful, lifechanging news that they've just discovered and you get to be one of the first with whom it's shared. To be able to enjoy the excitement of that day is something that I will always remember about Luke that makes his birthday special to me. Happy Birthday, Luke<br /><br />John JocherJohn Jochernoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-48820793171596927962012-10-26T07:28:28.155-05:002012-10-26T07:28:28.155-05:00Happy Birthday, Luke!Happy Birthday, Luke!Chancenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7566778230970156239.post-63559071533468228072012-10-25T23:47:53.590-05:002012-10-25T23:47:53.590-05:00Very inspiring.
