Dominique is coming to the reunion

Dominique is coming to the reunion. I talked to his Mom the other night and asked if I could take Dominique too. She said he was smiling, and really wanted to go. When he was over the other weekend he said "his Dad didn't have as much" and I could see in his eyes that he was envious of Elara having such a involved and engaging Dad. So a big shout-out to Callista for letting him go. I bought Callista a silver necklace and some charms for Mothers day and that always seems to pay off, It worked back then and it still works now.

Dominique is a real nature lover. He always loved going on hikes or fishing with me. He was always up for going out early on saturdays and catching a car show, or going to pick up Hunter for a rabbit chase at vo-tech. I really enjoyed those times, and miss having a son around.

This is a conversation I had with dominique the other weekend.

Dominique: Can I get the big Ironman slurpee cup?

Matt: NO! it's really expensive.

Dominique: Are you kidding me ? it's a dollar ninty-nine! That's two dollars.

Moral of the story: He's way to grown up, and too wise for any of my nonsense.
This is the kid's at Ethel's in the district. They both look a little faded from the chocolate shake.

I am grateful to have a good family who helped me get on my feet and I know I STILL "wouldn't have as much" if I wasn't so God blessed with a family like you ALL!!!
