How did 26 years go by so quickly? I remember February 9, 1985 as if it were yesterday. Every year Jack and I relive the experience and the joy of Wayne's arrival. And what a joy Wayne has always been and continues to be. Wayne has the most amazing sense of humor (I wonder who gets that from? Jack!) and does a spot-on imitation of me (and many others!). One of the things that I most admire about Wayne is the respect that he has for others. Wayne does not like to talk trash about people and will respectfully decline any invitation to do so. I wish I was more like that.
We celebrated Wayne's birthday on his actual birthday on Wednesday with a quick dinner at The Reel Club, a great fish restaurant in Oak Brook. It was just Wayne, Sally, and me as Jack was out of town on business. I don't take for granted that I am able to spend time with my kids and enjoy their company. I am so blessed.
Happy birthday, Waynie boy!
