Today I hunted through boxes, albums, drawers and closets to seek out photos and clippings for Evan.  He asked if we would send him a collection of pictures and news articles from his childhood and teen years because he is being featured in a documentary film about gay athletes and they will be used as highlights from his life.

The pictures of the boys brought back many happy memories of all the fun things we did together as a family.  I found a hilarious description of Colin, report cards, stories they wrote, drawings, and lots of their homemade cards.

They grew up so fast and became exceptional young men.  We're glad they are happy, healthy, employed and insured, but we miss having them as part of our daily lives.
