Ahhhh, to give a decription of my son... Where do I start?
 
Jeremy is the baby of my three children. He has two older sisters,,, Rebecca (Becky) and Megan. Becky is 23 yrs old and Megan will be 21yrs old in just a few days. Jeremy turned 18 on Sept 1st.
Just for the fact that it is still to hard for me to decribe my son in the past tense,,, he 'was'... he 'did'.. and so forth.. I will speak of him in the present sense.
 
Jeremy is the most clever and funny person I have ever known. You cant be around him long without laughing. And his wit,,, although it can be sarcastic,, is soooo quick! You ever have someone say something to you... and hours or days later you think of a witty perfect come back for it? Then think "I wish I had said that then!!"? Jeremy didnt have that problem... the witty remarks are always right on the tip of his tongue.
My Jeremy is a "gamer". He can spend hours at a time on video games. Been like that since he was not much more than a toddler. I remember when he was about 4 yrs old and I was trying to get him to put down the video game and go out and play,, I got frustrated and just walked over and turned the tv off. He continued to play the game (mario) and when I turned the tv back on,, he was still going strong. He had memorized where to jump and shoot or whatever.
Jeremy takes great pride in the fact that he is,,,in his words,,, weird.  I say he is just very imaginative. Like the time when he was 3 and I came downstairs to find my son standing in the kitchen covered in peanut butter and toilet tissue. At first Im upset but when I ask him what the heck he is doing he looks at me with this look on his face like,,, duh.  "I wanted to be a mummy and the toilet paper wouldnt stay",, he said. I couldnt do anything but laugh then. He had coated himself in peanut butter so the "mummy wrappings" would stay put.
But I must say what others might have thought of as weird,,, I saw that he is unique. I often think of him as an "old soul". What I mean by that is that he didnt get along with alot of the boys in his high school when he was in school. He hated them talking about drinking and getting drunk and "hooking up" with this girl or that or doing drugs and the like. He told me one day that he felt sex was for when you really loved someone and was married or planning on marrying. Just the person you planned on staying with forever. I dont know of him ever drinking a beer,,or doing a single drug,, or having a girlfriend. And I think I would have known because he was always with me. And I know the way he thinks about things. And I love every bit of weirdness,, uniqueness about him.
He is also my gentle giant. 6ft 4in and 300lbs of gentle giant. Although that boy can have a mouth on him with words that would make a sailor blush (especially if he's raging at a game) he gives the best hugs in the world. And they are a several times a day accurrance. Never embarrassed to tell me he loves me and hugs me. Right in front of his friends.
 
Havent had one of those hugs for a little over a month now. God,,, I miss him sooo much!
