I still can’t help wondering what Willy is going to be like as he gets older. I can’t wait to talk to him… although I am quite fluent at baby talk…

John and Eva are so lucky. They are going to go through so many magic moments. I love the way little kids see everything as a miracle. A flower, a sunset, a puppy… why do people lose that wonder as they get older? (Well, I didn’t… I am still just a kid wandering around being amazed at all I see)… Is it just that we get used to things? Is it just part of societies’ plan to make us conform?

I hope Willy keeps that sense of awe and the ability to see the magic in everyday things.

I also hope he fights for the underdog and what is right…

We all need heroes, but maybe we all need to be a little bit of a hero as well… just sayin’…

I also hope he keeps just a little bit of Conan in his heart… just the good parts of a barbarian… the parts that will fight a dragon to save a maiden, or stand up against a bad king…

And I also hope that he keeps a sense of adventure, a desire to explore, to boldly go where none of us has gone before…

Okay, I admit that I just wanted to do that picture because he had on his Star Trek shirt.

If I was going to pick a space travelling, saving all the worlds kind of a guy for Willy to take after, the first choice is obvious…

Because maybe humans aren’t the only race or species that needs saving, and maybe we need our future generations to think a little outside the box.
