Goals in life

How's this for irony? I commented before on how I only really had one of my life-goals left to achieve - seeing my name in print.

Well, a publisher sent me a letter this morning, with a copyright notice to sign and everything...

... for my son.

My nine year old son.

Who's getting a poem published in a work by 7-11 year olds.

If I wasn't so proud of him I'd be jealous!!! What a star! This is what being a parent's about. I haven't pushed him to write (well, beyond the usual 'finish your homework') but I've encouraged him when he wanted to, and it's paid off for him.

My son's being published!!!
