While the first month of Charlie's life is distinct for the first visits from almost everyone in the family from around here (except Uncle Todd--that will be sweet when Uncle and nephew finally get to meet), what stands out from Charlie's second month is his Uncle Mike.
Michael flew in from Trinidad, and has spent the last 4 weeks or so with us. While Charlie may not later in life have a conscious memory of his first experience with his uncle, I am certain that the positive energy, endless patience, and unbounded love that this man shared with this child will be in his heart for a lifetime.
Michael headed home today, and all of us are sad. In addition to his pervasive calm personality, his hilarious comments, and his penchant for doing all the housework and cooking for the rest of us, most of all we'll miss the love that he shares with all of us.
Now he will be reading this blog, so I'll try extra hard to keep it up to date: Charlie's life is now officially international.

My time spent with this special child...Jason "Charlie" Leary would be an eternal memorable one....and yes while he may never remember our time, the many pictures would tell my story later on.....Love you son.
Uncle Mike
