-watching the morning birds dining at the feeder
with our eight month old grandson.
-seeing our daughter's reaction to the surprise
of their brother showing up for Christmas.
much squealing, hugging, and jumping was involved.
they are all adults too. 😍
-laughter with all our kids in our home...
at the same time.
(last time we enjoyed a holiday
all together was in 2012.)
-holding the hand of my dying friend,
and silly conversations with her and her family.
- the joy and excitement a baby
brings to our home.
-watching that little butterbean charm the socks off
his uncle and aunts.
- a pew, or two, full of family at mass with
my mom-in-love.
-reconnecting with old friends from faraway.
thanks be to God.
