Chess Child

I once thought that by having a child, I would give up any chance of interesting travel and an interesting life outside of the family. It is, however, because of Ray that we have explored Brazilian beaches, visited the museums of Paris, trekked over Swiss Alps, bathed outdoors in steaming water in Iceland, swum with penguins around the Galapagos Islands, and enjoyed the scenery of the most beautiful place on earth in Tromso. And that is just the travel part. The other, more important, part involved having another human being in my life who I could so closely connect with, admire, teach, and support. If every action and decision that I made brought me to where I am now, then I must have a charmed life. Regrets? Not a single one.
