Skateboards I want to hear my little boys call out for me at the super market, "Dad, buy me some gum. Dad, look at this, we should buy it, don't we need some." I want to walk with them to the liquor store to buy them baseball or football cards amd watch them get all excited when they find a star. I want to carry them on my back or my shoulders, teach them how to ride a bike, point out the squirrel and the frogs while on a nature hike. But I can't because now they are men, but I still miss the precious times we would spend together way back then, before they wanted to hang out with their friends, before school and skateboards and between girlfriends, before the divorce brought our world to an end. JamesLee July 18 2004 For my three sons. I'm proud of you. I love you forever. |

Thank you passing shadows and Lee J...although I've written others on this subject, this is one that I've been wanting to write for a long time...such beautiful memories of that period of time with some sadness tossed in...I am proud of my three sons...they are fabulous...James |
