Dreamin' of California - 4 Year Old Spidey-Boy Zane

November 28, 2021

Hello. Today is the 4-month mark that we've not had Zane here with us physically. And this last week has been really tough on me. I'll fall apart without warning. I know it comes with the territory...sometimes it's debilitating. So I try to find something to make me smile. Today that was revisit our California trip when he was a wee lad!

As I was just out in California, revisiting and retracing some of our trip back in 2003, I revisited the photo album with Zane's only trip to California when he was just 4 years old. Zane was 100% Spider-Man at this phase of his life. Not a single photo was taken where he wasn't in Spider-Man pose. I thought he might go into shock when he actually MET Spider-Man in front of Grauman's Chinese Theater! That was a HIGHLIGHT of Zane's young life then!!! He was so adorable too. Everything was REAL. He was sure he met the actual Spider-Man. We went to see them Charlie's Angels movie at the Chinese Theater and a scene takes place where the Angels have a fight scene out front of the Hollywood Theater there and up and down the street, showing Roosevelt Hotel and the Hollywood Walk of Fame. So Zane was super impressed this entire scene was happening RIGHT OUTSIDE where we were sitting!!!

So, mission completed. I'm smiling at this treasure trove of memories. Thank you, my little Spidey-Boy. Loving you always!
