We walked around the neighborhood Friday afternoon. The air was warmer and fresh – rain was coming. We had time to be together and we loved it. Best kind of date, in my book.
I am so grateful for Ryan and Olivia, this small little
family that the three of us comprise. I am grateful for my own parents,
sisters, and brothers. I am grateful for every member of my Awerkamp family –
all 10 of them.
I am grateful most of all to know that my family
relationships are going to last. They are never ending! Do I really
grasp that?I don’t think so. Do I
really appreciate it? Probably not. Although I am trying to. I’m trying to love my family, true and faithful, 100%.
My happy family life isn’t finite. This or that might
separate me from them or them from me, but the distance – however great – will not keep us apart for forever.
Nothing brings me greater peace or truer joy than to know
that.
Second star to the right, and straight on to eternity –
that’s the plan, and I’m following it with a grateful heart and my family in hand.
