Today is my son John's birthday. I wanted to share with you here because you all know and love him. I do hope this entry won't embarrass him too much.
He was born after 3 days of arduous labor. They wouldn't let me go home to labor because his sister had been born so quickly and also because we lived nearly an hour from the hospital. It wasn't an easy labor and delivery - he weighed 8 lbs! We didn't have ultrasound and the like back then, so it was always a guessing game, but I knew he was a boy.
This picture was taken in 1971. By this time I was a single mom and paid one of those door-to-door photographers to take pictures of us. Later on, I'll share the others. Today, John is in the spotlight.
I hope you all run over to his journal at By the Way and wish him the best. I'll be doing that - after all, no matter how old he is, he's still my kid.
Happy Birthday, John, I love you. Mom
