Herc and Shepard Fairey

This is my son Herc, not looking at the camera, but instead looking at Shepard Fairey. If you aren't aware of who he is, you should wikipedia him. I had to post this pic of Herc. Herc at 7 months in the womb has a picture with Mike Ditka, an autographed card and lucky coin given to him by the coach. He's already met some big people and he's not even 1. I also posted it because it makes me smile, and I need it I lost someone very dear to me yesterday. As I was holding back the tears, I looked over at Heracles playing with his toys and just beaming at me from ear to ear. I scooped him up and held him close, and realized it is the cycle of life. I hope he has the kind of charmed life I have had. I hope I can provide for him what was provided for me. And, I hope he has some one in his life one day as special as Rose Yochum. She was amazing, and we all are going to miss her dearly. Rose, I'm sorry Greg and I lied to you all the time about shooting your birds. I had a plum yesterday, and thought about those endless summer stays at your house that seemed to carry on for just one more day. Eating all the fruit off your trees, the grapes off your vines, and seriously asking if that zucchini you grew was real. You were the best country momma a city boy could ever have.
