"She's got a light around her and, everywhere she goes, a million dreams of love surround her. Everywhere

Thank you Margaret, Sarah, and John for the time of my life.

It has been remarkable for me, as father and grandfather of daughter and child to see them together, separately, and as one.

Margaret is Sarah and that makes me laugh and cry all at once.

Margaret's morning coos are Sarah's.

Her wet diapers are Sarah's.

Her brand new giggles and laughs are all Sarah's, but of course they really belong to Margaret.

Wherever did the time go?

It has been an extraordinary three weeks filled with our cherished past, loving present, and hope that the future forever brings.

I am at a loss to describe my feeling about the woman that Sarah has become in my life, so I will close by again resorting to Billy Joel:
She comes to me when I'm feelin' down
Inspires me without a sound
She touches me and I get turned around.

Thank you, Sarah.

And thanks to all visitors.

Jack

Reading this and sending Jack off this morning may be more than I can bear.

Your love for that which I love serves only to show me how lucky I am to be part of this tapestry that is our family.

Thanks for everything. For Sarah and for Margaret. For all you've done for them and us. For the levity and conversation over the past three weeks. For showing and sharing with us us the joys of having a book published and in discovering Hong Kong anew and for awakening those same feelings in us.

Thanks for visiting, Jack.
