''I Remember''




I remember...

...the day you arrived
and gave me a wave of your hand

...how much your mother loved you

...your eye surgery and how brave you were

...when Grandma took you for your first hair cut and you weren't so brave!

...taking you and Mitch up and down Mitch's Mountain and Harry's Hill in my tractor's wagon

...teaching you to swim and swing

...playing catch

...your first days at Exeter Day and Barnard School

...all the artwork and papers from school you brought home

...when you stopped holding my hand when we went to the store

...when we were looking at RV's and you said,''I'm leaning toward that Mallard!''

...when you fell in love with Theatre at Kingswood

...when you went to the prom

...your love for your friends and theirs for you

...the bad time...when you cried in my arms and asked ''Why?''

...your acting and directing and how totally amazed I am by your talent

...your overcoming, your strength, your hope...your hard work...your successes

...how proud I was the day you graduated

...and I remember a whole lot more...

but most of all I remember the love I have for you, all through the years

- Forever,

                 Dad
