At a very early age, he already displayed a strong,
solid,dependable, reliable character.
I could always depend on him.
Always very independent, self-controlled and rather stubborn.
A real take charge, No-nonsense person.
Howard 'collected' stray animals.
He often spent days nursing them back to health
Feeding them very patiently with eye-droppers and baby bottles.
At night he would kiss all the animals "Goodnight"
and then come (with a big grin) to kiss the rest of us!
We all thought that he would become a Vet when he grew up.
A very happy contented pre-teen.
Not so shy any more.
A handsome young man!

Jordan was born on 29th August, 1998 weighing 8 pounds 14 oz. He is a big beautiful baby!
Celebrating our Differences
"Each of us brings to our life a unique temperament and style.
This is our special gift to the world.
How monotonous it would be if we all expressed ourselves in similar predictable ways.
Difference is the spice of human behavior that makes us so fascinating.
Some of us charge boldly through life taking risks;
others choose to play it safe.
Some of us are eager for social interactions;
others ae more contented being loners.
Some are spontaneous;
others are planned.
Some approach each day with gusto;
others are cautious.
Some are perfectionists;
others are less exacting.
In love we become acutely aware of these differences
and are careful not to force out values
upon those with different behaviours.
Our love makes room for everyone.
As long as we remain open to differences,
we are constantly enriched.
There are as many approaches to life
as there are people in this world.
The more of these ways we can understand and accept,
the more full and loving our love becomes.
The French say, "Vive la difference."
Love echoes the phrase."
(and so do I.

It is possible to be different and still be all right.
