The way I look at it can best be described by telling you what I was feeling on the first night of our cruise, at the dinner table with my husband and boys. As we toasted J’s graduation, someone said something about Father’s Day being the following day. Basking in the Happy, I grinned as my inner voice reminded me that my family has so much to celebrate, especially this month.
A husband and father who works so hard at his job yet stays deeply involved at home.
A twenty-first birthday, today (D’s).
I take none of it for granted, and today, as my first-born turns twenty-one, I close my eyes and count my blessings. It takes a long time and I don’t have enough fingers and toes for all of them.
I am a lucky girl. Life is good.
*Much like we went to Germany when D graduated.
**I deleted her comment so as not to “out” her, so no need to look for it! Heh.
I’m so happy you had a great trip. Love it when a trip works out and you enjoy yourself. See you soon.
Happy birthday, graduation, Father’s Day, return from vacation to you and your family! Glad to have you back..
So many wonderful things to celebrate! Congrats to J and good luck to him as an upcoming college freshman. Congrats to D, you must be so proud of the exceptional young man he has become. Congrats to Jim, wow… just looking at his sons is proof enough of his success as a father. And to you, and your beautiful family. You all deserve to be celebrated.
