Hey man. We had little birthday dinner last night for you. Waci made lumpia. I remember that time Mike and I house sat for you and Waci. Your mom and aunt had been in town the week or so before and made you guys a freezer full of lumpia. I remember Waci used to get annoyed with us because we couldn't pronounce lumpia right, and we made up a fake for it just to push her buttons. We ended up living off all that frozen lumpia while we stayed there. It was good to eat it again. Miss ya man.

28 years ago
determined to make an early entrance
It felt like the separating of velcro
the placenta detaching from the wall of the uterus
1 hour of labor
doctor barely has time to scrub before catching you
Such a pretty, healthy baby
“Lucky 7-11” the nurse proclaims
Dad & I are in awe of such perfect features
Hair that sticks up all over your head
brown at the roots, then red, with blond split ends
Auntie calls it 'a ray of sunshine...
