I met Eric’s Father when we were both in an orphanage many years ago, he was smart and athletic and he was my first serious love or that’s how I always felt. Of course I know it never would have lasted now, but way back then I didn’t. At any rate I have never regretted having my Son although I do regret that I wasn’t older and better able to provide for him.

The orphanage had a small newsletter that they sent out to all the sponsors and of course they would feature the children in it. I was even in it and I look pretty dorky at one of the functions serving barbecue or something I really don’t remember now, but I’ll post it below (I’m the one with the flip, remember those)? Andy was featured also in front of the trophy case which I’ll also post.

As I said he was into all sports and had football, Golden Gloves boxing, baseball, and basketball trophies. He was a quarterback and loved all the pain or so he said which I personally thought was weird. Eric never liked sports, but would tell everyone I wouldn’t let him play because he didn’t want people to think he was a wimp, but since I usually took the fall no big deal.

Eric only recently met him in the hospital and said he got an okay vibe from him so if they are planning on doing that DNA test I really think it ought to be soon. I see no need for it because it’s a little late now after 38 and a half years, but I guess most people want proof of who they are. Personally I’m more concerned about where I’m going than where I came from.
