a proud mama moment…
December 2nd, 2009
In most things, I quickly attribute Griff’s intelligence to Mike. I’m not unaware that Mike’s smarter than I am (at book things). But those tender moments in my budding scientist’s soul are mine. They are me, and I am proud of both him and me.
The following is a poem Griff wrote for class. Not bad, I think, for an 11-year-old boy.

I walk into the wind.
It pushes me down again and again.
Every time I fall my muscles grow tighter.
Trickles of sand sting my eyes.
Thirst makes me keep walking
I find a drink
but it only keeps me alive.
I do the same for all eternity.
