Matthew's 18th today!!

Last week I got on the phone, I thought "late again for a birthday", but no, too early! Woe is me!

Anyway, TODAY IS Matthew's birthday. Not just any birthday but what has become important as one of the rites of passage: Matthew, my nephew, is 18!!

I just can't believe it. Your kids and sibblings kids just seem to grow up so very quickly. That is what life is all about, I suppose, but it is not until you are a parent that you understand what your own parents said in the past!!

Now for a bit of the nostalgia... I suppose that were it at all possible to turn back the clock, I personnally would turn it back to the age of 18 or at least the age of 18 as I perceive it today which might not be the same as it was! Yes, I would like to be 18 again. Adulthood, but still with so much energy, hope, naivity (?), expectation and no bills!!!

So this is a Happy 18th to you Matthew, from me.
