Growing Up Fast

I was on the phone with Mom when my nephew Andrew came home from school. I heard a burst of energy rush through the door. It's been a long time since I've spoken to him, so I asked to talk with him.

Andrew picked up the phone and said hello. He told me that he has a test coming up and needed to study. He's been going to baseball practice to get ready for the season in April. He said he wants to be a third baseman. This weekend, he's going skiing with the family. Before he hung up, he wished me a happy Chinese new year.


It's a joy for me to talk to Andrew. At eight years old, he is extremely articulate. I can't wait to get out there be an active part in his life.
