Happy 32 Bday, My Dearest Son

Sunday, April 24th, 2011

My Dearest Son,

Today is Easter Sunday and it is also your Birthday. Happy Birthday to you!

Today you are thirty two years of age. I remember the moments of the greatest day of my life. For on that day you were born and I held you in my arms and I peered into your eyes and I asked you who was in there. The power of the memory of it brings tears to my eyes on this very day.


Happy 32 Birthday, My Dearest Son

I have done a visualization drawing while I was filled with the sound renderings of Yusuf (aka Cat Stevens), a powerful voice from my youth whose songs sustain me now, through his new album “An Other Cup” which is inspired by his Muslim faith.

The Will of the Divine

I have included a picture of my father who is your grandfather taken when his parents lived for a time in Livingston, Montana. His father had come from Tennessee and his mother had come from Strum, Wisconsin. His parents had most likely met when Ira was traveling with the Northern Pacific railroad and met Lydia at some social occasion of her working as a school teacher in Belgrade, Montana. They got married and moved for a while with the railroad and they finally settled in Laurel, Montana.

My Dearest Son,

Here are some writings from yesterday and this morning. The day finds me up early and hard at the task of publishing at my blog. Congratulations in having landed a decent half time job. Good luck on finding the other half. I am proud of you for having attained the first step of getting back to gainful employment.

4:44 AM 34 degrees F, in Woodbury, Minnesota it is a glorious morning and I must be soon into the shower and off to work. However I have until 4:58 to write you a letter. I will do it the way most people send letters these days, by typing them into a computer keyboard.

You told me you do your computer browsing at the Library. I am so happy that the Billings Library is properly funded. Perhaps you should give them a resume. Your computer skills would be helpful in keeping the computers (available to the poor) operating properly. You would be able to assist in many ways with the computer’s smooth operation and the occasional human needing assistance. Don’t know about working at the library but it is a noble profession, that being a servant of humanity at the level of helping the poor gain access to computers.

4:20 PM and 61 degrees F in Woodbury. I am home for the day and thought I would continue this letter until I am called to dinner. Your mom is such a great cook that I look forward to each meal. You are a great cook too. You will soon have the freedom to be able to feed yourself and friends delicious meals that you prepare. Yumm!

I must say that blogging you a letter is a new experience for me. The problem is that it takes time to reread and revise. I think I still prefer hand writing but we’ll give direct blogging a fair test.

I guess part of it for me is that I have not done a proper backup of the blog because I do not know how and have not the time to learn. It is a hassle to have good backups.

If you would like to have more of a conversation on any of the writings at the blog you can always write a comment. If you would like admin privileges to post writings at the blog please let me know and I can look into sending you the proper request that grants you the right privileges.
