About A Boy

A shy boy who came to this country when he was more than a decade old,

leaving all he knew behind to follow a dream of a better life.


Hearing the chatter of a language foreign to him;

he worked hard at learning to fit in with his new peers

and was so proud to be called an American.

He excelled in a sport that transcended language and privilege.


Those smoldering blue-green eyes and jet black hair

coupled with his trademark sweet manner worked together famously in ensuring

that the "new kid" would never be without company.



Still, it was a hard road.

A road that took courage, patience, perserverence and character.

The very traits that that beautiful boy still possesses today

in the man he has become.
The traits that make me so proud to be his wife.



Happy Birthday, My Love.
You make it all worthwhile!
Fortysomething never looked so good!
