October 3, 1979, our youngest son made his debut into the
world. I wrote this note to Jeremy many years later, describing one of our
earliest experiences with him as a newborn just about an hour old.
“Did you know you smiled at us the first time we held you in
the hospital room? Relatives said it was just coincidence, but it wasn’t. You
always smiled when we talked to you.”
Of course, that changed. Even as a toddler he knew how to push
emotional buttons and mastered the art of subtle--and not so subtle--teasing early.
There was a certain twinkle that would signal what he was up to. And the smile accompanying a “gotcha” moment evolved into more of a smirk.

I treasure the memories and loved the young Jeremy, and I love
and appreciate the son, the husband, the father, the man he has grown
into.
Happy birthday, Son.
Jeremy and his family are all beautiful, you are very blessed!!
