I know I have not blogged for quite awhile, nothing seemed worth talking about. But thought I would give it a shot tonight-----!
This month is my (our) son's 26th birthday. Charles was born May 18, 1980. The day is important, not only because he was born that day (tho' that is enough for me!) but because that is the day Mt. St. Helen's erupted. Actually, we erupted about the same time! He will be the same age that I was when I met his father. He is a man and yet still my boy. There were times that I thought he would NEVER survive childhood or I wouldn't. He was a tough child to raise, always a challenge and always the challenger. He still challenges others but, mostly himself. He is not afraid to take off and make a path where none exists. How did he become so brave...we his parents are so "not adventursome"? We tend to take the path most taken. This month, my son will be 26 and when he reads this, I hope he knows how much we love him and that no matter what he does, he will always make us proud.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CHARLES

Interesting. Because MY son, Nathan, was also born May 18, 1980. In fact, also about the same time, too: est. 8:20 a.m. MDT, in Denver. So we indeed "erupted" at the same time M & C did. Over the years, I have said, only partly in jest, that the same 'earth tide' that triggered the Mt. St. Helens' earthquake / landslide / eruption also triggered out eruption in Denver, that same morning. Nothing like connections, right?

The connection is awesome, thank you for sharing it with me.
