SWMBO and I went to a wedding last night. The groom is a young man that we had as a Taekwondo student when he was about 11 or so. We have watched him grow up, go through high school, then college. He’s like an adopted son to us. He married a very sweet young lady. We wish them all the best in the world, and we can’t help remembering him when he broke his first board. Yeah, we were both puddle-eyed. ---
