This is what I am so grateful for....

My sweet son...

No.....

 this is not a current photo.

This little boy is now 21 yrs old.

He is visiting a hospital bound uncle today.

So... I do not get the pleasure of feeding him way too much food.

But

I am blessed.

He is a good man.

He is actually one of the most caring

and interesting people I know.

(of course my opinion only matters to me)

I am fortunate to have been

assisted in raising him

by his wonderful dad,

my patient parents,

and

dozens of fabulous teachers

who have over the years

encouraged him

and

me.

While...

his dad and I are not married now,

and haven't been for over 16 years,

we have tried to bring him up

without seeing our disagreements.

(his father is actually better at this than me, my guess)

We have been blessed in return

by having a son that is

better than either of us

deserve or could wish for...

I know that this may sound like

I believe I played a major role.

not true.

I know that

the most I can take credit for is

having made dinner,

cleaned clothes,

had a few parties,

and

basically tried to act like an adult.

(sometimes worked, and others....well)

This is what I am grateful for today.

How about you?

What are you grateful for?

I would love to hear from you...

smiles.

Happy Day.
