Brayden is having a prayer service this Friday that is being considered his kindergarten graduation - I was talking to him last night about it and I told him I invited Grandma and Grandpa and Grandma Jean. I said if Grandpa is feeling well he may be there, but he may not. He goes, "Mom why did you invite all those people, I am going to get stage fright" :) He is so nervous for this little half hour prayer service.
I don't know how it happened, but one day he was my baby and I turn around and now he is this little man. I was feeling old enough knowing Case is graduating this year from high school - he was born on my high school graduation day - so I am always going to know how long I have been out of school - thanks for the reminder Case :)
It is amazing how quickly life passes you by. We need to grab hold of it and hold onto it as long as we can - especially the good times and the good friends. We never know how long we are here for, so take hold of it and enjoy life!
Much love to all,
I love that!!! Life is to short! and before you know it you have blinked and your children are all grown up!! You find yourself on the other side of age thinking Where did all the time go?
ReplyDeleteMichele,
ReplyDeleteI remember that your mom was pregnant with YOU when I first met her and your dad! It was my first date with Mike and we were at a Cincinnati Reds baseball standing room only playoff game. Your mom had to stand the whole game except for the last couple of innings when someone left and you dad lifted her over the seat and placed her in the empty chair! What a gentleman! Now do you think I feel old!!! I think that was 1972! Boy time flies!
We were out of town for Mike's convention and just returned today. Sounds like the reunion with your mom's side of the family was a great time for everyone! I agree that was a long time for not getting together with your family, but sometimes life just gets in the way and it can't be helped! I sure it won't be that long again!
This if for Bill and Captain Chemo.....FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT!!
Take care and lots of love,
"Aunt" Carol & "Uncle" Mike
