This picture warms my heart in a good way and is one of my favorite pictures of my youngest son.

And I am considering using the kids’ first names on this blog at some point, because half of the people I felt as though I had to hide us from… aren’t a problem any more, what with the death of my oldest son’s father.

To make a long story really short, Monster was gifted this shirt while he was still in public school during the pandemic. He fell in love with it, so I’ve periodically had it remade for him in the years that would follow.
