On October 17th 1997 at 3:30 p.m. in the Carolina's Medical Center in Charlotte North Carolina Michael Alexander Patton was born. The day we entered the hospital Summer reigned, but by the time we departed it had given way to Autumn.
I returned home on his 11th birthday around 4:00 p.m. and spied him at the end of the street talking with Suzanne. She is a 6th grader whom he gets along very well with. It is not quite a romance; it is more of a proto-romance, a friendship with warm feelings. They played together until 6:30 p.m. when she was expected to be home. Bill, Wendy, Jake and Ellie arrived around 6:00 p.m., but I let Michael continue to focus on her because it is a good thing to have a fetching girl want to be with you. Like I said, it is not a romance, but I can think of worse ways to start out your 12th year than with a girl asking "when will I see you again?
