Much Needed Update

 Long, Long, Long time.

It's unbelievable to think of the things that have happened since that last post. Mostly because it was one month before the world was flipped upside down by a global pandemic. Jack got COVID-19. January 2021 (so the original version, not a strain.) He handled it better than I did, suffering only a sore throat for a couple of days during the 10 day quarantine.

Jack is now 17. He drives himself to school. He has a job and an income. He reads music and plays the drums like a boss. He is so much fun to hang out with! It is interesting how different "baby Jack was from "kid Jack", to "teen Jack." We talk about everything. He makes me laugh. We argue. He is this whole person now.

Jack is a Junior at Paradigm High School. He loves school. We have struggled a bit with ADHD and grades, but he still loves to go and learn. 

Jack's dream is to "entertain." He loves to perform and always has. But only under his own terms. If one day Jack is a famous YouTuber, it will be the end of the rainbow for him. Truly I will be always be happy as long as he is happy.
