There Goes My Hero
Perhaps this is backwards, and musically cliche, but my son, Alex Tedeschi, is my hero. My hero moved out this week, and moved in as a Freshman in the UConn Honors Program. Alex, you so completely earned this — the scholarship, everything. Maybe one day you’ll explain to me what this Microcellular Biology thingie is all about. At least I understand “Marching Band,” which is why you moved out a week sooner than Mom, Hallie and I would have liked. Sorry for following you around with my video camera, but I never want to forget a single thing about you. Love, Dad.
