HAPPY BIRTHDAY, COLIN!!!At Thanksgiving Colin and I talked about his birthday. I told him I thought he should have vacation on that day. He looked at me with that quizzical Colin look. Thinking he might not quite understand “vacation” I said “a day off from school.” His immediate protest proved he knew all too well what a vacation is and he was having no part of it. Now the failure to understand was all mine. And after a couple more exchanges I understood the why. “There’s special stuff on my birthday, Grandpa!” And because of the special stuff Colin needed to be at school. I’m still uncertain what all the special stuff is but to Colin it is important and that’s enough for me. Now from the reports I’ve been hearing Newberg schools have been closed for the past few days. For Colin’s sake I hope that whoever is in charge will relent and allow Colin to be back in school for his birthday and his Special Stuff. If not, Colin remember you’re special! You are a very special boy and always will be!
