I have decided that I will do a post
about each of my four sons.
First will be Joe, although he was born second.
I just had a weekend with him
... and he inspires me to try different things
and learn new stuff all the time.
My Joe
When he was born I was living at my parents home
because my husband was overseas for a year long tour (Air Force)
He and I went through a lot that first year
... born with a large nasal teratoma
that interfered with his eye and breathing.
My thought on it is
the teratoma was supposed to be his twin brother.
Joey came through surgery and recovered 100 percent.
Joe is, wacky and funny and generous, and empathetic.
An Eagle Scout, with a great love of nature.
(where did he get that from, I wonder)
He is a loving, kind, and smart son
He's made life interesting to say the least.
His interests span
barbershop harmony, films, cameras, and film editing,
fly fishing, camping, geo-caching, woodworking,
sushi and good spicy food,
beer and honey wine making,
cooking and travel.
He sees the beauty and uniqueness in every person,
animal, plant, and rock on earth.
Joe plays many musical instruments, but mainly the guitar and uke.
He taught himself the harmonica and the trumpet and flute
(sort of an Indian wooden flute) from lessons on U-Tube videos
He sings great, whistles sweetly and hums beautifully all the time.
Here is my Joe
in an I-phone video he made last year.
It speaks for itself
I Love you Joe
Mem-mem
(that's what he calls me)
