Memorial Day = Keith is 41 today

Have not seen this boy/man since Oct 2006. I think of him often and do hope he is doing well. I expect to one day receive a knock on my door with him on the other side. At that time, I hope he is clean and sober. Alcohol effects him in much the same way as a poison. He seeks confrontation and has had the piss beaten out of him in the past. Hoping that is not the case at this time. He has 2 beautiful children that need him but early on he decided someone else should support them. As the single mom who raised him without his father's help, I don't think very highly of that decision.

His children are with their mother at her mother's house. As far as I know, they are being well taken care of. I don't see them for various personal and proximity reasons. Did see Rhiannon a couple of weeks ago when I dropped off the yearly cache of gifts. She's a vivacious and friendly child. Of course, I did have a bounty for her so she accepted my presence very well even tho I haven't seen her since she was around nine months old. She was 4 in January. Braedon is autistic and will be 6 on the 4th of July. I bonded with Braedon so I would say I miss him the most.

Anyway, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, Keith...........hope you are well & you are missed (but your behavior is NOT missed)
