Michael calls canteloupe watermelon. He is convinced that he is right. He has been told by all 3 of his sisters that he is wrong. He will not be swayed to believe anything other than what he is certain of. And he asks for "watermelon" a lot - he loves "watermelon". It will be interesting to watch him over time, to see if the things that he is most certain of will cause him to stand as strong as he is today. Is it stubborness? Is it a strong will?? Whatever it is, I know that I am watching part of his character be formed.

To Lucile
It is my sweet mother-in-law's birthday today. Happy Birthday, Lucile. I love you.
Lucile
Who is sweet and kind and twice my age
who is beautiful and loving and simply amazing
who has character and history and stories to tell
who has memories and tales and has loved long and hard
who loves animals and people and wildlife and plants
who turns raccoons into friends, raised sons to be fine husbands
who is Grandma to six and mother to four,
who is beloved wife and fond friend
Who is writer, defender, compassion sender.
who is survivor and lover and all things tender.
I 'm so blessed to be apart of your family -
happy birthday, dear mother and friend
May year 73 be everything you want it to be.
Henricks.
