Yesterday, Thursday, June 19th, 2008, was my oldest son, Erik's 31st birthday. This photo is of him and me last year at this time at Morakami Japanese Gardens in Florida. Erik's still working at Kaplan and studying furiously to become a paramedic (then firefighter). His cousin Kyle and brother Kevin are doing the same. We couldn't be more proud. He truly has a beautiful heart and his inate kindness towards people will surely serve him well in paramedics. Grandpa would be proud.
