Sweet child, I love you
You are everything to us
You are our whole life

But I sometimes feel
That I will just lose my mind
Turn off that X-BOX!!!

mafool:

S believes she's it
He cannot see what we see
nice but we hope not

celebrates every month
college choices counted her
she's still a Junior

Next year stay at school
Do not count on love lasting
make friends and move on

S would be upset
If parents gave this advice
We leave him alone

Still we know much more
Tis difficult not to share
Let yourself mature

oregon-

Son made the hard choice-
Went far far away to school,
Left girlfriend at home.

Girlfriend got married
to another last summer.
It was not to be.

Now three years later,
Love enters his life again.
It is new and sweet.

Four hours of coding...
independent study is
tough, but rewarding.

I'm not much help since
Java's sort of Greek to me.
(I'm a dinosaur.)

Back to chapter four...
study every example...
now he understands.

Bright spinning circles.
Click the mouse to make them stop --
click, they start again.

Computer science,
you were my son's nemesis
but tonight, he wins!

gadad -- milkman?
Give yourself some credit here!
Yours, and raised 'em right.

But in geek_son's case,
He got all the brains from "dad"...
I still have all mine.

Mine's not a player,
planned on staying unattached
at least till college.

One very close friend
made him reconsider, though --
but it wouldn't work.

So much in common,
I understand her appeal,
but she's just too young.

She's so mature, but
more like a little sister --
not the one for him.

In a school so small,
hard to even find a date
to take to the prom.

Most just go as friends,
and that's what he will do too,
with another girl.

He doesn't know yet
all the possibilities
somewhat south of Mudd.

I know when he goes
he'll meet many girls like him,
smart, sweet... and his age.

Maybe then I'll be
like oregon101
or Harriet Welsch...

Salt all their cookies?
I want him to be happy,
but who's good enough?

Age 18 is young
Having his heart so involved
She is nice enough

They are together
by constant text messaging
Ah technology

Little family time
They want to be together
Weren't we just the same?

I know this will pass
Most likely within the year
Hope he falls OK

If salt would hasten
Give me a peck and bushel
Pepper too Mom Love
