A babyboomer, a flower child of the '60s and '70s, a rebel in my own youth, born to be wild...

I resolved early to offer a life of choices for my children. I thought that it would be so easy. As hard as it appears to have been at times, the rewards have far outweighed any perceived negative connotations.

 

 We have grown together and learned from each other. I am grateful for their support and love in the pursuit of my dreams. I only hope that I have reciprocated to them in more than equal measures.

 

 Both of my sons were born in Tucson, Arizona.

• I was barely nineteen-years old when Sean was born.
• I was just tweny-seven years old when Richard was born.
• Both have different fathers...both share the same mother.
• Both, for different reasons, have struggled with life.

 

 I labored for seven hours for Sean's arrival, demanding drugs immediately to ease the 'pain'. I barely made it to the hospital for Richard's birth, never getting an opportunity for any drugs.

 

 Two male offspring, as different as night and day.

• One's room looks as if a hurricane hit it...the other's room is immaculate.
• One boy-child loves rock music...the other jives to rap.
• One is interested in psyhcology...the other is fascinated with statistics.
• One has surpassed me on the computer...the other is majoring in communication arts and Spanish.

 

 Sean is my firstborn and the mirror of my heart. I made many mistakes with him.

Richard is my last born and the mirror of my soul. I made more mistakes with him.

 

I love each man-child more than the other.
