Happy Birthday to Treekeeper!

Fittingly, my son was born on Labor Day, 57 years ago today. There was a lot of fussing over the idea of labor (wink/wink) day, and the fact that it was the actual due date (and wasn’t I the good little compliant patient), and then here was this amazing little spirit come to stay. I’m not sure exactly when this photo was made, or where, or by whom, but it’s him for sure in all his golden wonder. Yup, I’m still dazzled, and expecting a great grandson in a few weeks has brought it all to light again: birth, a new human being, a whole entire person emerging into the world. Good lord, who can believe any of it?! At some point you just have to say miracle.
