Two people I love very much, 20 years ago, at Christmas.

[NNadir]

My wife and my youngest son, I'd guess around 2005:



I love the expressions on both their faces, particularly that of my son in one of his contemplative moods. The picture was taken back in my Father and Mother in law's home, shortly before they sold it to go into assisted living. (They are gone now, and I think of them every Christmas)

That boy is a man now, who can tell me things about alloys of tungsten and rhenium (or technetium) that I didn't know and lots of other things about which I didn't know.

There's nothing better than when one's kid is smarter than one is himself.

I sincerely hope everyone has had a Christmas as filled with joy as mine has been to have my sons with us together with my wife, my in laws, and some friends.

1. What a beautiful wife and son!

I know from many of your other posts how much joy you receive from your marriage and family, and that always makes me smile. You have a heart of gold, dear NNadir, and are deeply deserving of every bit of this happiness!
