spending time



I have been trying to spend more time with
my young adults as they will possibly let me and their
father without invading their world.

it has been fun and kinda challenging
at least they are making the effort and blocking
time of their schedule to allow this time well spent
of togetherness. in fact so that they attended my cousins
baby being baptized and celebration after in a park
they said they wanted to see all my aunts and uncles
and cousins, while at the park they played on the
jungle gym then they came and sat and visited. it
was such an incredible feeling that they gave me
watching them have a good time with the relatives.

one of my aunt's gave me a nice compliment about
my two young adults. she said they are the most
caring and respectful teenagers she had ever met
and that I have done a good job and my mom would
be proud.

I am so proud and I know my mom would be too.!
of course they have their commitments but
they told me that they cherish the moments
and times we do "hang out" together in our
own little immediate family weather it is watching old
movies at home or gathering together with my sister's
or with my mother's relatives as we did yesterday.

Sounds like a wonderful day you had, and then to get a compliment like that was the icing on the cake!
I often think about Grandma and Grandpa... what they would have thought about Rob and Diandra.. and now Rob's wife. They would have wrapped their hearts around them... their whole family. Every single member. Because that is who they were... are. That comforts me and brings tears to my eyes. I know they would be proud!

love you deb

You DO have two beautiful children/young adults/people. You have done a great job in raising them.. and allowing them to grow into who they are. You are a good mom.
