Melvin and I are both excited that the Thesis is done. After I get home from work, we head to a professional printing shop to get it printed and bound. As we're walking downstairs to get in the car, Fire is coming upstairs. He is quite perplexed. We both say, "Happy Birthday son!." He gives us a half smile. "Thank you Ma, thank you Da." "Did you see the card I left at the house?" I ask. "Yeah Ma, I got it. The IRS is taking all of my return for school loans!" Fire says. Melvin and I try to console him, but we really want to get the Thesis copied. I tell him I'll call him when we get back and we'll see what's goin on. He says okay, we hug and say the usual "I love you." Our family, my husband, my children and I always close our farewells with, I love you. I am honored we practice this closing salutation.
We were surprised to find that my cousin was employed at this particular location and she was tremendous help. She talked to us and explained the process. Melvin is usually eager to talk to relatives, yet today he finds a seat and listens to us chatter while we wait for the copies.
By the time we leave it's dark, we stop to get a bite to eat and head home.
We peruse the copies and I prepare them to be mailed the next day. Melvin goes to bed and I call Fire to see what's going on with his tax problem.
I notice that my baby is really not himself so we turn in early, we skip Jay Leno.
tomorrow
