<p>Moonmaid,
wow, your son demonstrates that he is a force to be reckoned with!</p>
<p>My husband’s cousin had testicular cancer 35 years ago…and has been in perfect health since then. Wishing the same for your son.</p>

<p>I laughed when I saw your question in #154–and then recently life laughed back at me.</p>
<p>S2 and his GF just had their one year anniversary. We have taken her for dinner a few times when we have been in DC, and we like her a lot.</p>
<p>The plot thickened recently. He has gone with her to spend a long weekend at her grandparents’ in Long Island, and has gone to her parents’ home in Connecticut. All of a sudden he is spending Rosh Hashana with her family–and asked us if she could come to us for Thanksgiving.</p>
<p>So–no engagement, yet. But I am beginning to think one may be coming sooner rather than later. Although as my son is the slow type, with him sooner could be in a year or so.</p>
<p>Any one else?</p>
<p>boysx3–I think you’re right. And I hate to tell you this, but they may already have an unspoken “understanding.” Or your son who is the “slow” type is in the capable hands of a woman who knows what she wants. :)</p>
<p>mommusic–I hope so, I like her a lot. Actually, she did ask him out for their first real date. So you definitely may be on to something.</p>
<p>Update…</p>
<p>S2 had a delightful weekend with his GF’s grandparents on Long Island in August</p>
<p>He is now in Connecticut, spending Rosh HaShanah with her family. I haven’t heard a word–her family is Modern Orthodox, and so are incommunicado for the holiday and now for Shabbat. I probably won’t hear a word til Monday.</p>
<p>boysx3- did you hear about the visit?
My 2007 has a serious relationship but he isn’t happy if I ask a lot of questions regarding the future.</p>
<p>Hi mom60–</p>
<p>yes, I heard. " Visit was fine, mom." Just like your son–questions are not welcome.</p>
<p>My experience tells me very fine…with S2, I’ve discovered that the less he says about something the more important it is to him.</p>
<p>We are gathering the tribe for S1’s law school graduation this May. I am so proud of him, I could burst! My oldest about to embark on his career, the same summer his little brother graduates from HS. S2 has chosen Tulane as well. The way the law school supported S1 during his cancer ordeal really impressed S2. Tulane couldn’t have been more supportive during a very difficult time. </p>
<p>Mazal tov to you and your family! and special wishes for your son’s continued good health. His ordeal really puts things in perspective. I have heard so many wonderful things about Tulane and yours isone more good example.</p>
<p>I actually cried during the Law School ceremony this weekend. It was such an accomplishment, in the face of great challenges. What a great weekend!</p>
<p>Moonmaid ~ What an accomplishment by your son. So happy for him, and for your family…now here’s to passing the bar!</p>
<p>I am on CC now for my younger daughter who is a senior in HS this year. Her old sister was in the class of 2007, I was on here then but I didn’t see her on the list - she went to WPI for 2 years, decided she wanted to be a teacher, and transferred to our closest directional University. She graduated, got a job, got married, she took a year off from teaching but is back with it again, she is also writing a young adult book, and she is a member of the Boston Derby Dames roller derby league. Her husband (who she met at WPI) is in the doctoral program at Boston University for neurobiology. </p>
