Thanks, Mom

Mother loveWhile more than 95% of the readership of this blog lives in Wallingford, and the majority of the remaining 5% live north of the ship canal, we do enjoy a small readership as far away as Connecticut, where I was born. So, to our Connecticut reader, I say: thanks for reading, Mom, and happy Mother’s Day.

As my local family drove home last night, my wife Michelle tried to explain to our three-year-old son that, although he may want to spend every waking moment with her now, some day he would be happy to be away from her for a while. Yes, he would still love her just as much, he would always love her just as much, but he would be happy to be on his own.

He wasn’t buying it, but it’s true. He will always love her just as much, just as I will always love her just as much. Happy Mother’s Day to the patient, warm and joyful mother of my child.

And to Margaret and all the mothers of Wallingford, thank you! Enjoy this beautiful day.

I started Wallyhood back in 2008, right when my son was born, because I realized I had lived in the neighborhood since 1993 and didn't really know my neighbors. I figured writing a blog about what was going on around me would be a good way to meet people and help other people do the same. As the years progressed, those neighbors have picked up the torch and it is now a group effort, which I adore. I moved out of Wallingford for a few years (2020 - 2025), but I'm back, now living with my wife, son and dog (Dillinger) up in Tangletown.

    Who would’a thunk that funny little duckling would grow into such a wonderful swan.
    Thanks, Mom
