Family time

We, as the Sylvan team, Al, Mikey, Kevin, Alex, McCoy, David, and Alan are assigned to blog once a week and this is my day. I have been blogging about the multiple repairs that enter the back room of Sylvan Music and my guitar building journey. This week I've chosen to talk about my beautiful, youngest son, Perry because he just came home from SF State College. He just finished his 3rd year of school, he's a Liberal Arts major, minoring in Japanese. He's a very sensitive human being with a close group of friends that he spent last evening with on the beach over a bonfire.

 The many times that his friends were at the house, my wife and I were happy to evacuate the living room and give them their space.  We often commented on how energetic and happy this group can party. Loud laughter, dancing, snacks, and unjudgemental friendship. Did I mention, no alchohol or drugs. We've learned a lot  over the years watching this group interact with one another. He kicked my ass in a chess match last night, I'm not used to that. My competitive side was hurting but my pride was elated that my baby out-bested me. The next day, mom prepared one of our favorite meals, chicken, mashed potatoes, and broccoli, so that softened the blow.  He's leaving tomorrow, back north, and we will miss him. 

We have many relationships in our lives but none compare to the love for our children. We've watched their every step, we've cured their pain and confusion, and our love for them has given us the strength and the  creativity to make their journey as obvious and transparent as we are capable. We love you Perry.
