    I think Harold will be very proud of his Dad when he is old enough for this to matter.

    I’m always struck by how hard it is for thoughtful parents to sum up their kids when they are small. I remember being asked on kindergarten applications to describe our child, and I always felt like I was still getting to know them. Like they were on loan, and I was just finally getting to try all the new features that were being added every day. Summing them up in a short essay seemed to be , well, pointless and besides the point, because it’s impossible to judge or sum up someone who is just beginning to really be.
    Happy Borthday, Harold. You’ve got great parents who are dedicated to making the world a better place. And tell your Dad he’s crazy about the selfish thing- he is the most generous person I know.

    My dad died when I was 14. I think of him every day, all of his quirks, his strong and weak points.

    Mom recently found a cassette tape we had for fun when I was in middle school. In the middle of silence on that tape, daddy said “Dumb, dumb Daddy loves Lynnie Troldahl… immeasurably.”

    I heard that for the first time when I was nearly 50 years old. I still shed a tear every time I remember it.

    What a gift you are giving to your son. Thanks for sharing it.

    Upset with disqus right now. It ate a heartfelt comment I wrote.

    Your video touched me… too wrenched by the tech glitch to rewrite my long comment.

    Nice vid. Many happy returns of the day to Harold!
    I’m sure you have learned a lot of things from Harold in his 5 yrs, as you have from him. Hope you continue to learn from each other for a long happy time to come.
