thankful

Tonight, I thought of my Dad. Alex played a great baseball game. Lots of hits, great plays on the field, and excellent base running. Too bad Dad could not have seen this game.

Thinking about things Dad missed in recent weeks.
Baseball games
1st Communion of one of your granddaughters
Family gatherings
Mother's Day
Grandparents Day at Alex's school

and I am sure I missed a few things...just feeling down about it.

Mom was able to take a day off of work and come and spend the night with us. Alex enjoyed her company on Grandparents day. I am thankful that she was able to spend this day with him. I like that she is able to watch my children grow and participate in their lives.

Like when Dad was alive, I wish that they both live closer. The same town would be ideal.

It just seems like the kids are growing so fast. I look back at how things were when I was young. I lived the carefree life, just like my kids. It just makes me stop and thing and appreciate all I have.
