Max's birthday

Today we got to celebrate Max's birthday. The kids were so excited, especially Mathieu who adores his older brother. It was really good to see him, for the kids and I, as we hadn't had a chance to see him in a long time. His studies are going well and he seems happy which is the only thing a father can wish for his son, really. I do miss him a lot though, and I find I don't seem him nearly enough. Max is an intellect equal to I, and I really enjoy the usually deep conversations we have. I talk with a lot of people, and while I play polite and agree with them (if I don't say much in our discussions I suggest you google the content of our discussions to get a better handle on your faulty facts) I am rarely challenged by their statements as much as I am by Max's, and I love him so much more for it. He is part of my heart, and the kid's too.
