Once again Mouser, what wonderful memories you have to hold. It always makes me all the more eager to “make more” with my kids. Thanks for sharing. I’m here now too… 🙂

I’m not sure of the context here … I can only think that you’ve suffered a tragic loss… But obviously have lovely, warm memories of a special boy

RYN: Great minds think alike!! I started mine after you, but I didn’t go visit yours until AFTER I had done mine, too funny! I’m not sure I like it yet, I may change it. I like your font colors better than mine, but I promise not to copy!! Hey, I want to know about what Nathan did (or “didn’t” do) at school then you found out later! Sounds like a good story! He must’ve liked cereal too! :

Mouser!!!! Nice to see you here! Welcome to OD+! This entry is very touching… my heart goes out to you…
