It's been years since I updated...so here it goes.

My favorite haiku from the book was written on June 27, 2006:

I was sitting on the floor watching TV when Ellis crawled up to me, grabbed my shirt and proceeded to use me to pull himself up off of the ground into a standing position.  I laughed...then I cried.  It was a moment when I saw the future and that future was my son one day becoming a man...my equal (if not my better!).

Grabbing my shirt

you pull yourself up...

now we’re eye to eye
