When I grow up to be a man will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid (The Beach Boys)

Father and son - December 19, 1984


Wie geht's?

Last week's Jewels For The Thirsty mentioned that Keegan's birthday completes this subset of the Purdys for 2025, appropriately begun by Jacky in April.

[In order: Jacky; Samantha; me; Jade; Adam; Keegan]

Keegan's origin story is here and it's worth re-reading, even though it was written in 2016!

Keegan turned 41 last week and that just seems wrong - I can vividly recall holding him in the palm of my hand (as I wrote in that origin story): 

The whole experience was completely overwhelming and draining. Jacky slept, while I sat beside her in an armchair and held onto this new life in my hands and was drenched in pride and tenderness for both Jacky and Keegan.

It's one of those moments. 

So, to think that happened 41 years ago is a mind blown moment.

Happy birthday Keegan!

Merry Christmas to all the Purdettes, their families and partners!

Love and peace, now and forever - Dad
