I am definitely blessed to have the pleasure and privilege to be Jim and Tom's mom. I have tons of assorted memories. I just discovered that Jim has mentioned in word and pictures, some of his memories on his blog...http://www.jimmckay.blogspot.com
I laughed and cried as I discovered them.

His brother Tom has been equally creative over the years. I have schrolls rolled up inside toilet paper tubes, cards, pictures and fun voicemail messages.

It is a wonderful gift to feel that when your sons are grown into fantastic, respectable, good men and that they remember happy times during their childhood years. My sons faced lots of challenges when they were growing up. Despite all the moves, new schools, people and places their fantastic personalities and spirits blossomed.

They are both married now and have wonderful children. They are living by example. Their lives with are filled with fairness, caring, integrity, faith and love.

Tom and Jim are busy creating adventures with their own families. I love it when they call me and tell me about a bike trip they have taken, dogs they adopted, sports they coach, play and/or see. They take their families on vacations. They have taken their own childhood experiences, the happiest ones, and multiplied them expedentially to the next level. Even though I am geographically far from each of them they make me feel close by calling, writing and sharing photos of their adventures. Lucky, lucky me.
