Time...you can't multiply it and the older you get...the faster it seems to go. I'm sitting here looking at the calendar and realizing that the year is nearly 50% DONE! Trey and Jennifer have already been married nearly 4 months and it seems like just yesterday I was standing with him and holding the ring. Both Tripp and Makinley are wide open and growing so quickly. Each time I am with them, it seems like something else has changed. Stacey & Joey just celebrated their 6th wedding anniversary.Debbie is over 6 weeks post-op and again, just last night I was asleep on the couch in her hospital room. This weekend I had a friend request come through on Facebook from a guy I worked with in law enforcement. As I read some of his Facebook entries, I realized he had just RETIRED. I have been officially out of law enforcement for 28 years and here are people I worked with hanging up the badge and gun. April 9th was 18 years since I had my open heart surgery...thank you Lord for the gift of life.
Through it all....I know that as I go each day....God goes alongside me. Just as importantly, he continues to bless our family and extended family. To Him, a day is like a thousand years which should really bring to light how short our time here on earth really is. My only regret....I wish I had my mom's personality.
