Sometimes it seems like time is going by slowly, until I look back at old pics. Then I see how my baby became a boy, along with glimpses of his becoming a man. I pray the world can open itself to new possibilities only found by putting hate and fear, distrust and anger, to the side. I want his life to be blessed with acceptance for the person he is, not tainted with bigotry and prejudice. I love my my darling boy. You are a gift to us and to the world. Don't stay anchored to the side lines. Get out there! You have great things to offer, if only with your beautiful smile.
