Happy Boy


I think this is the happiest I've ever seen Uta. Or maybe its just a certain kind of happy that is totally new to him. It starts deep inside him like a glow, slowly lifting up every cell in his being like a million brightly colored helium balloons, until it escapes out his mouth in a sigh of pride and self satisfaction. He is walking taller this morning. Basking in orange.

This is when hard work results in a well-earned reward,and that kind of happiness is what we search for the rest of our days. Bask in it! This is growing up. Oh dear.
