it was 20 years ago today

Twenty years ago, I had a check-up and then went out to dinner with my beloved K and his employers, two sisters who produced Japanese commercials. It had been a long but successful shoot (for what? I don't remember) and I was expecting a baby on December 21st.
We met at a beautiful restaurant, one of K's favorites, now gone, and had a sumptuous meal.
I was a little uncomfortable but not in any pain. I had some wine! K had lots of wine.
It was delicious. It was an enchanted evening.
We went home and went to bed and my water broke.
I had a hard time waking K. I called my brother B, he commandeered a taxi, he came and babysat Oldest, we went to the hospital.
It wasn't an especially difficult labor (time heals all memories), I had a teeny baby (two pounds smaller than Oldest), we rejoiced and named him. Then we changed our minds and named him again.
We marveled at how beautiful he was. We were awed at how silent he was (he still is).
He was and is a wondrous complement to our family.
He is driven and talented and lovely.
He is 20 today, our Middle, and we couldn't be more proud.
