It was a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away, and a young boy had just witnessed the coolest thing he had ever seen. The first ever big screen Star Wars movie!
I'll never forget that day...30 some years ago.
Strangely, I feel the same sort of youthful excitement because today...in just a few minutes, I have the opportunity to lead two little boys into the world of Luke, Han, and Vader...
The Force and The Empire...good vs. evil.
Strange how time seems to collapse around certain memories...as if I'm suddenly that little boy again...trying so hard to levitate objects with my mind (I really tried...many times...).
Will tonight be such a memory for Ethan and Ezra? Will they remember the first time they saw Star Wars as they lead their own little boys into the far away galaxy?
I suppose time will tell.
Well, I'm off...to my very important date.
Oh, and one more thing.
Thanks Aunt Mick, and may the force be with you.

One of my greatest fears is that I will, little by little, begin to forget the series of seemingly insignificant events of my boys' early years. Perhaps I fear this because I know that these years are THE most formative. On second thought, it's not so much that I fear forgetting but I fear that there will come a day when I do not know my own children. Perhaps my hope is that if I pay attention now...I will know them better then, and in turn, they will know me.
