Keepin' it real.

What were *you* doing the day(s) your children were born? (Scroll to 31 March entry)

I don't have any children sired by me, though I have a stepson I love as I would any child of my loins.

Yesterday was my son's birthday, back in 1985. I didn't know that day I would have the privilege to be a part of his life - but I *do* know what I was doing.

I was in Gunnery and Weapons classes all day. Nowhere near as memorable. But that's okay.

Congrats, Michael!

Thanks for linky love, John! You know I was born while my Dad was in Viet Nam, so this sort of things hits close to home for me. If you've never been to Michael's blog, you should look around. He's a great writer- you'll enjoy all of his posts, but of course this one will be special for a very, very long time. Congrats to the new Mommy and son too!

Tell your son Happy Birthday for me as well. It's a great day to be born... I would know. I was born that same day in Vinceza, Italy 1976.

Well, I know what *I* was doing when they were born, but the Engineer was there for all but one. That one he missed because he was in South Korea. Happy Birthday...late..
