One of the Greatest Gifts Ever

Hope all of you are well.

I just got home from my monthly check in with my Dr. I had a great check in. This month was the blood work and meeting with my Dr. Next month, I will do the the blood work and the MRI. They honestly seem a little surprised how well I am doing each month. This last month is the best I have felt since that brain surgery that happened a year ago this month. I have hoped and am beginning to believe I will be in the 5% group that lives this out 2-5 years longer than normal. That would be greatly appreciated.

Saturday, Natalie and I got to run up to OKC and celebrate our grandsons first birthday. Liam is an amazing grandson, that honestly most days simply seems happy to be here.

Michael and Kimberly planned a big birthday party with many family and friends. It was a special day that I am beginning to cherish and am so grateful I get to do that.

There was a stretch of months that it was hard to me to have the energy and mind set to enjoy and celebrate my grandkids. That always made me feel bad. I internally convinced myself I would not be around long and for myself or the grandchildren to feel that attachment would be another way to make my death more painful.

Feeling better these days I realize how wrong that was. I saw Saturday as an opportunity to celebrate and enjoy my grandson. It really doesn’t matter when my time is up. I want to use each opportunity to love on my grandkids. That picture shows both of us enjoying the time together. Was a very special day!!

I truly enjoyed the time with family and especially my grandson, Liam. This weekend we are heading to Atlanta to spend some time with my first grandchild, Amelia. She is a beautiful and amazing little girl. We also get to meet her little brother, our 3rd grandchild, Micah. He is a little over a month old and I can’t wait to hold him. Life is Good!

Grandchildren are a beautiful gift from God. I hope for anyone reading this, if you have grandchildren you are getting to spend time with them. It truly works both ways. It can bless that child, but it is an amazing gift for the grandparent!!!

Remember you are, “LOVED and of GREAT VALUE.”
