The boy met the President of the United States today, as in had a personal reception with the President of the United States. It was amazing and we so thankful. The President was everything you might hope a leader might be and Ethan was cute & funny. We even had our photo taken by the great Pete Souza. (In this age, What's more important: The history makers or those who capture them?)
In the midst of so much excitement and incredible opportunity, so many other emotions surfaced. It is difficult to reconcile this opportunity with the loss of the boy's dad. One would not have happened without the other.
Today I'm proud of my incredible and wonderful boy, yet sad for sweet, young baby.
