    Christopher says:
    It was a beautiful clear spring morning as we walked slowly through the alley. The air was cool, but pleasing in the sun. We were making our way to a favorite spot, an ivy covered Pergola on the beach. The springtime vacations on Hilton Head Island South Carolina were a regular vacation we all looked forward to every year. It was just the two of us as the others were still asleep or just waking from a long relaxing night. We reached our destination and found the two person wooden swings under the ivy deserted (as they usually were in the early morning). We had no words or conversation to interrupt the sounds of the waves and birds. We just held hands, sitting on the wooden swing as it rocked slightly back and forth. We watched together, the sun on the sea, the birds as the hunted for delicacies in the sand, and the small green geckos running along the railing chasing flies in the light and shadows of the Pergola. Occasionally we would turn to each other and smile. It was the beginning of a perfect day. I will always remember those few hours. That part of my spirit is yours forever. Your loving son
