"In my life, you are the sun that never fades
and the moon that never wanes."
Author Unknown
The third boy showed his gentle disposition from an early age. He loved to plant seeds in the garden and grow flowers all along the fence to later, joyfully, give away. He preferred to be shoeless and where ever he roamed, he was deeply connected to the earth.
When I recall his growth and development, I am overwhelmed by his never ending love for all things nature (trees, water, moon and each star in the sky.) He self taught himself how to carve objects out of dead tree limbs, and faithfully attended the sightings of the sinking sun.
This boy, now man, easily engages with children, as they chase after him with screams of delight. He truly listens to the wisdom of adults, and advances his skill with carpentry and unusual facts about the earth. He reveres elders, leaning into their wisdom to be passed down to his own son one day. I deeply love this human being, my son who always shines.
Happy Birthday Matthew Carlson ...
