Where did the time go? I have a picture on my desktop of me holding my son Richard who is a couple of days old and I had just turned 21. This is the four generation picture. He was supposed to be born when I was still twenty but he showed up 16 days later [...]

It is hard to be self-aware especially when we are talking about a certain level of emotional upheaval.
