Paul's company party was last Saturday afternoon, a family affair centered around children. Tim knows all about Santa Claus this year, but was still a little shy about sitting on his lap. Once there, he managed a smile. Luke screamed as soon as I put him down, but we expected that. We didn't even attempt to visit Santa when Tim was that little. I guess that's part of being a sibling: experiencing things before or after our time for the sake of the other sibling.
Walt Whitman's poem "A Noiseless Patient Spider" is the inspiration for the title of this blog, which is an attempt to remain connected to the people who have been part of my life.
