BACK TO THE STORY…
Long ago, Edreys was this VERY shy “lil’” boy. I was very content with staying to myself as well as keeping my drawing and musical interests private as well. In early grade school, there was always some type of class performance that the teachers would put together for the parents. I remember having giant butterflys in my stomach and even crying from the thought of having to stand before any number of people. So, typically what I would do is, I would avoid making any sort of eye contact and stare to the side while carrying out my part in the performance until it was over. Above, you’ll see the evidence of the such behavior. My mother would call out over and over as discretely as possible,
“Edreys…EDREYS! Would you turn to Mommy for a second?”
Maybe my bow-tie was just so big, that it didn’t enable much head movement on my part.
FWD to the present. I’m still facing the same way, minus the bowtie. LOL! But this time I’m just showing off my haircut. I actually LOVE rocking in front of people now. It’s what I’m cut out for…Entertainment.
Enjoy your family everyone! Peace

Ahh! I forgot about that picture. Look at my little Brother. What was mommy thinking with the plaid short sleeve joint? Oh well, you were always before your time. “Go ahead little bowtie boy.” “Get money, get money, get money.” Pray that it will be more than a duffle bag full. Make sure it fills up a couple of Samsonite suitcases.
