Ladder to the top

Scientists are getting closer to establishing the many, many facets of DNA and all that is passed on through its rung-like links on a ladder.  So, in another decade, I can write this blog again with much more precision.  But, I know that personality, physical features, sensual capabilities like sight, and latent talent possibilities  get passed on from parent to child.  And, I know one very amazing mom who has a son who will inherit much of what gives her the beauty and skill she possesses.

You're now 11, my handsome young man.  You are climbing a path and finding that it leads to the top of a wonderfully tall mountain.  Your genes have taken you farther than other young men your age.  Many of them will not make it to the top.  But you will; it's a matter of genetic fortune-telling.  Keep up your masterful journey.  You have it in you to conquer each obstacle that arises to impede your progress.

Happy Birthday!  And, congratulations for your great 11 year journey and for the outstanding years ahead containing your accomplishments.
