Mike said to me, “Isn’t everyone looking for something?  A fulfilling family, career, life, hobby, it seems we are all searching for something.”

And then he said, “Not me.  I got it pretty good.” 

He is a simple man which these days signifies something pretty deep.  He searched out a career he would love.  He has formed a wonderful relationship with his stepson and enjoys thoroughly our youngest and apparently he loves his wife.  Good enough he says.  This is why I love Mike.

Donovan believes in Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, and the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.  He believes that everyone wants to be his friend and that all people mean well.  He is entirely hopeful.  This is why I love D.

Beau takes everything with complete ease.  Put him in a room full of strangers and at the end of the night he would have a friend or two.  He can talk to small children and grandparents in the same breath and he is always Beau whether at school, home, the pool, or onstage casually accepting the best looking award; it is the way he plays sports, socializes and relaxes.  He rolls with the punches and always comes out standing up straight.  This is why I love Beau.

Now why they love me, I’m not sure you’ll have to ask them that but apparently…they do.
