Thomas is 19

My son Thomas has his 19th birthday today. He is a smart, funny, honest, interesting young man. Even people who are not his mother say that.

Sometimes I feel like my kids have grown up too fast, but then thoughts cross my mind like "gee, at this time 19 years ago I had been in labor for two days". Then I cheer up.

Here is a picture of Thomas, his friend Ana, and Ken in front of a mural on a Santa Cruz street.
