My friend Debbie's two daugthers were in high school when she experienced severe flu-like sysptoms.Debbie visited her family doctor, who told her the flu bug had passed her by. Instead, she had been touched by the "love bug" and was now pregnant.
The birth of Tommy, a healthly, beautiful son, was an event for celebration, and as time went by, it seemed as though every day brought another reason to celebration the gift of Tommy's life.He was sweet,thoughtful,fun-loving and a joy to be around.
One day when Tommy was about years old, he and Debbie were driving to a neighborhood mall. As is the way with children, out of nowhere, Tommy asked, "mom,how old were you when I was born?"
"Thirty-six,Tommy why?" Debbie asked, wondering what his litle mind was comtemplating.
"What a shame!" tommy responded.
"What do you mean?" Debbie inquired,more than a little puzzled. Looking at her with loved- filled eyes,Tommy said, just think of all those years we didnt know each other."
