Dear Friends,
Not a poem, but I wanted max attention for this. It is yesterday's graduation speech by my adopted son Dominic, whom I met on his 7th birthday. He is now 18 1/2. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS3-vPJKSW8 10 mins, and there may be a few places where you would have needed insider knowledge, but I reckon it is a good time well spent. Love Alan ·······  ······· |

Alan, I think I know how you feel, in watching this as Daniel said i too have gotten a better idea and inside look of your family. I remember watching my youngest daughter as she gave her graduation recital with three songs on the clarinet accompanied by only a piano. Think how scared i would have been up there in her place (I dislike very much doing anything in front of a public view). How proud you must be to know that you gave the ability to this young man to become more than he might have otherwise. I was very struck by his intelligence and his sense of humor, the ability to laugh at himself to know he is different and to use those differences as strengths instead of letting them become weakness', a very fine young man, I wish him and your whole family well. Now I must go wipe my eyes.
You take care my friend, Steve |
