Casey Cunning Comes to life at 3 years old.

You were my first born son, and you changed everything for me as a man and father.

It was 1998 and Wayde was not here yet. You and I were hanging together on a dad and Casey weekend. I was having to work with Shelly on a project to build out a new Compaq lab in Greenwood Village.

You always came to work with me. This weekend we met Shelly at the lab, and began new builds of Windows domain and servers.

You were looking through cables and boards. Then going online with your Compaq laptop. Shelly was building the domain and I was tinkering with the racks.

All the sudden, the servers starting shutting off. This went on for an hour as we searched to see what was causing the server shutdown.

Then I saw your eyes. You snuck a look at Shelly the systems engineer assigned to my team. She was tall beautiful and blond. You acted as if you were busy, but you were in a game.

I stopped and just watched you watch her in the frustration she assumed was a hardware or software failure.

I hid my face and watched as Shelly turned away and you hit the power button of very system that she was not looking towards.

You would then slip back in place to start the next act of the game. I sent Shelly a note online, and she turned suddenly to catch you in the act.

Again, your smile said it all. She laughed at your impish response. You jumped up and kissed her. This surprised she and I.

We all talked about that day. That is the day I realized that you were not only acutely aware, you had a game plan to execute against your opponent.

I was lucky to have you as my son, and it was a pleasure to witness your intellect and cunning. I loved you with my heart soul and mind. I love you now and forever.

You taught me to love as a father. You taught me the fun of having a son. Just know your brothers, sisters and I miss and love you everyday.
