Three years ago it was daughter Amy, when I made this book for her (on my sidebar). Now it's son Mark's turn!
He makes the math easy for me: at 30 years younger than I am, I add 3 years to his age to figure out Amy's age. I do like how easy he makes it for me!
Anyway....
(Click here to view the book, and then click on the book, after which
you then click on "Full Screen" in the top-right corner.)
The book is 11 x 14 inches, 77 pages. And, yes, it covers 50 years of his life,
as told through MY eyes...the eyes of his mother. It's now added to my side bar, above Amy's.
However, it's not at all like the book I did for his sister, which was historical and chronological.
This is how I explained it to him in my Introduction:
This isn't a history of you, per se, nor a chronological anthology of events,
stories or memories, making up 50 years of the life you've lived.
Rather, this is more of a smorgasbord of ingredients making up the delicious
bits and pieces of your life that makes me, your mom, LIKE who you are.
How can a mother not LOVE her son! Indeed. But it's the LIKING of all
these 50 bits and pieces that makes me smile at you with great pride and joy.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY,
Mark Daniel Tiffan!
