Our son turns 49!

Our Son Turns 49!

Of course, this is one of my favorite photos of Dave & his son, Edward. We were living in our second home, and our precious dog. Whitey, is in the background.

I can't believe our son is turning 49 today!  He was our first child, born eight years into our marriage.  We wanted to start our family right away, but it wasn't meant to be. Needless to say, we were overjoyed the day he was born.

Edward has a little of both of us in him! 

 

Examples of his Dad   

I didn't realize how much Edward looks like his dad, until I started looking at old photos of Dave.  His voice is much like his dad's....low and sometimes hard for people hear them.
He has a quiet & serious personality like his dad.

When he bought his first truck, he just wanted a plain truck...nothing fancy.  He said, "Oh no, I sound like my dad!"  

Back when he was working for Circuit City, he had to dress in a casual shirt and slacks and said, "I am starting to look like my dad!"

One of my strongest memories is when he wanted a dirt bike, and I was against it.  Then one day he and his dad came home with a dirt bike! 

Another day, I was introducing Edward to a high school friend of Dave's and he said, "He looks just like Dave looked in high school!"

 

Examples of his Mom

Like me, Edward likes computers.  One time Edward dropped off a new phone for me when I wasn't home and his dad said, "Your mom won't know how to use that!"  Edward responded, "Mom will figure it out!

Growing up, Edward had me in the palm of his hands.  One time his dad told me, "Edwards talks and you jump!" 

One time I had stuff stacked up in my studio, and his wife Dee said, "Like Mother, Like Son!"

Like me, Edward, can also be very out-going at times.

Sometimes when he visits, he wanders into my studio to see what changes I have made.  And when I visit his home, I always check out his computer room.  

 

In Conclusion

 

Our son has turned into a fine man, husband, and father.  Our son loves his family very much, and is a good provider.  Whenever, I need him, he never refuses me.  His dad & are very proud of the man he has become.

Happy Birthday, Edward
With all of my love, Mom
