    Today is my nephew's birthday

     

     

    Today is my oldest nephew's birthday.
    He was always the golden child.

    I see those coming after me as so far ahead of me:

    Brighter, kinder, happier, less tormented and driven, more balanced and rounded and whole...
    better persons.
    Evolution on a
    family scale,
    as it should be.

     
    He was always the golden child.
    He is gold still.
