Just before bed, I caught a glimpse in mirror. December 8th, I am 44 years young now... The miles behind and the miles ahead are all special. The wrinkles are not just wrinkles in skin, they are wrinkles in time. Thanks for having me Mom. Thanks for teaching me so many things that informed who I could and would become. Life starts with good parenting and the health of society depends on it. There have been so many amazing people along the way-family, friends, and colleagues that made this all possible. Some of them with the best of intentions and some of them with not the best of intentions. I appreciate them all. Thank you for all the birthday wishes, stay safe out there everyone and please whatever you do stay kind...
