Mike has always admired the older generation and they are drawn to him. He used to always joke with me and say about himself, "I'm an an old man trapped in a young man's body." When Chase was only four years old just the two of us were in the car stopped at a traffic light near the house. As I watch Chase through my rearview mirror, he is staring out of the window in deep thought with the most serious expression. Chase turns to me and says, "It's a shame Abraham Lincoln had to die. I sure do miss him." Can you believe that? A four year old absolutely believing that he was missing Ol' Abe! My thought is that he must be like his Daddy, feeling like "an old man trapped in a young man's body!"
That is so cute!!!
