A little bit about Anthony...…
• Born December 18, 1991CE at 10:32p. From the beginning he has been one of those children you always wish for. He helps around the house, keeps his room clean (mostly), wants to be with me, just playing in the same room, is quiet (most of the time), does well in school, and loves his sister. I know that he does his best to make me proud and I try everyday to let him know that I cherish him and that he is so very special to me.
• He does little things around here to help me and tries very hard to let me know that he is here to make me happy. I fear that he tries too hard and I tell him as much as I can that I love him and want him to be happy.
• He's had a lot of heartache in his short life. I know that in most cases, that makes you stronger, but that still doesn't make it right. I know that I worry sometimes about his "braveness" since he has a tendency to avoid new things, but it was once pointed out to me that this same little boy, took the initiative to walk to school one morning (almost 1 mile, across a busy street) because he knew that he had to. He is truly a strong guiding force in my own life. We have had some terrible things happen in our lives (though not as terrible as the people directly affected by what happened in New York) and he has been very steady through it all.
• I trust my son more than many adults, and when he has a dislike for someone or something, I know that I need to step back a little bit and re-evaluate.
• I know this doesn't tell very much about him, but he's one of the most awesome people I know. I hope life gives him everything he deserves, and that's a lot.
Namaste
