PARENTS LOVE EACH CHILD BEST:
DEAR MIDDLE
CHILD, JONATHAN: I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED YOU BEST BECAUSE YOU
DREW A TOUGH SPOT IN THE FAMILY AND IT MADE YOU STRONGER
FOR IT. YOU CRIED LESS. HAD MORE PATIENCE, WORE FADED HAND
ME DOWNS, AND NEVER IN YOUR LIFE DID ANYTHING FIRST. BUT IT
ONLY MADE YOU MORE SPECIAL. YOU WERE THE ONE WE RELAXED
WITH AND REALIZED A DOG COULD KISS YOU AND YOU WOULDN'T GET
SICK. YOU COULD CROSS A STREET BY YOURSELF LONG BEFORE YOU
WERE OLD ENOUGH TO GET MARRIED. AND YOU HELPED US
UNDERSTAND THE WORLD WOULDN'T COLLAPSE IF YOU WENT TO BED
WITH DIRTY FEET. YOU WERE THE CHILD OF OUR BUSY, AMBITIOUS
YEARS. WITHOUT YOU WE WOULD NEVER HAVE SURVIVED THE TEDIUM
AND ROUTINE THAT IS MARRIAGE. AND WE LOVE YOU VERY
MUCH.
Jon was in the Navy for three years and now
goes to college in MN. He is taking Graphic arts at Brown
Institute. He likes the big city life. He will be thru with
school in a year and a half.
