The last one out of the nest…

I don't often talk about our kids on here. However, this past Saturday our son (and our youngest child) graduated from High School.

The Husbear, our son Matthew and myself.

This next picture is very special to me for many reasons.

Our son Matthew, and his dad.

Matt, we love you more than you will ever know and we are so proud of you.

Until next time...

  Thank you Ron. I tend to take for granted the things that go on around me with our family.

  Not necessarily a bad thing. Now the Husbear can leave his pr0n laying around....

Those are the images people should see regarding gay families: nothing different from any other family around. Congratulations to Matt on his graduation!
