Fourteen years ago, at 2:11 am, Ben was born. Always the cooperative child, he was born on his due date after a very brief--albeit intense-- labor. So brief, in fact, that the attending staff doctor insisted that there was no time for any intervention of the pain-relieving kind, i.e. drugs. I remember questioning that particular doctor's credentials at the time.Like Peter, Ben has entered a major growth spurt in his 14th year and is currently 5'8 1/2" ... only 1/2 inch from being as tall as his mom. And I now join all parents in asking that rhetorical question, "Where did the time go?"
