June 13. Today is an important day in our family because 8 years ago Sean was born. As I look back over the years, it is amazing to see how he has grown and changed and become who he is. He has so many wonderful gifts to share with others: his compassion, his curiosity, his love of animals, his creative mind, his systematic thinking, his humor. It still surprises me how much one person can love another; I love him so much.
Sean has always been (and will continue to be) his own person. He doesn't fit into the mold of others, he definately walks to the beat of his own drummer. And yet here I am, dragging him around the world for a summer and he is taking it all in with wonder and interest. His skinny chicken legs have walked for miles and he doesn't complain. He has basically survived off of croissants, pizza and coke. He is extremely fascinated by the French Revolution and, after seeing the Russian Cathedral, the murders of the czar and his family before Lenin. On the rocky beach, he entertains himself by piling rocks and searching for sea glass (we have a whole baggy full). For Sean, it is great fun to scare the pigeons....he likes the city because there are so many of them!
Blessings this day to Sean and anyone else who is celebrating a birthday. I pray that we all recognize in others the gifts that God has given them and learn to appreciate the uniqueness!

Happy Birthday to my very special friend Sean. You make some of the cloudiest days sunny for me.
