I never expected there would be a time when I was proud of my Baby Boy for recognizing the skyline of Winston-Salem. Winston-Salem is not a big city. It's home to a medical school and a few prestigious HBCU's. It once had a thriving textile industry and furniture making reputation. It even has a historic Moravian Community ! Still it was a town that never meant much to me. Until my son started living just outside it in an adult group home. That decision, made when he had just turned 20 came with a good bit of tears, fear and guilt. But now as he approaches the age of 22, with the same happy smile he's had for his entire life, I know we did the right thing. Now he's happy to come home. Happy to go to his dad's. Happy to see his grandparents. And even happy to go back to "the camp house" as we call it. And as we make our way up the interstate as soon as we hit those inbound spidery ramps to the city and he spots the skyline, he calls out Winston
I've got a lot of thoughts.....I've got a lot of plans
