Dear Gus.
You’ve been asleep for the last 2 hours and in that time, the world has changed.
Hopefully for the better.
Below is a picture of the dollar that I won from your Grandpa tonight. (He’d only make the bet once I had given him 10 to 1 odds.)
I think I’ll put it in your baby book so that it becomes the first money I ever give you. Because, while I mostly steer clear of symbol these days (trying to see things as they are and not as I wish them to be), just for tonight I am going to celebrate the progress that has just been made and to hope for more in the future.
Love, Mom
OMG, George is soooo cute!
Will Gus’s first words be “Yes We Can?”
I’ll bet your dad was happy to give you the dollar.
Yes he was.
And can you imagine how thrilled Mom would have been?
Yes, I did think about how your mom would have joined me in my tears of gratitude at the possibilities for the future.
