When I Grow Up...Kingston at 3 years old


Last May, I asked Kingston who was then 3 years old what he wanted to be when he grew up.  Like every other time, I asked he had the same response:  Daddy, a birthday cake and Spider-Man.  Sounds good to me!


I wish for him to grow up to be like his daddy:  kind, color-blind, handsome, funny, compassionate, driven, patient...


like a birthday cake:  bringing smiles to people's faces, listening to people's wishes, sweet...


like Spider-Man:  agile, brave, courageous, strong, confident, making the World a better place...


"May God bless and keep you always
May your wishes all come true
May you always do for others
And let others do for you
May you build a ladder to the stars
And climb on every rung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May you grow up to be righteous
May you grow up to be true
May you always know the truth
And see the lights surrounding you
May you always be courageous
Stand upright and be strong
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young.

May your hands always be busy
May your feet always be swift
May you have a strong foundation
When the winds of changes shift
May your heart always be joyful
And may your song always be sung
May you stay forever young
Forever young, forever young
May you stay forever young." Bob Dylan
