small treasure

He walked into the living room where David and I had been watching a movie.

"Oh, I have a thing for you. Because you have small hands."

It was a spanish student guitar. Small neck.

No one had ever thought to give me a guitar before.

I have kept it with me in its cardboard case for 25 years. I play it now for my baby son, who smiles and nods his head. He will get to learn on it.

Thank you John.

Thank you for loving your sons Graydon and David with so much pride and pleasure that you gave them the space and support to become the fine and weird men they are -a most fitting legacy, and an inspiration in parenting.
