On this day the Lord has made . . .

As I was driving home from the grocery store I heard a man on the radio ask what we were leaving our children/grandchildren. He mentioned how he would choose, over any amount of money, the writings from his grandfather . . . if he had left any.

So, I have determined to create a diary/journal of what happened to me on this day(s) the Lord has granted me.

my son

My son is here right now. We don't get to talk much between his kids and his wife. She and I talk so much we really don't leave much room for Michael to get a word in edgewise so it is nice that he is here.

I especially liked how he watched over me while we were at 7 11 earlier. He and I were filling up our tanks, and after my tank was full, I walked over to Redbox to return a movie. He had filled his gas tank, and could have left, but he stayed to make sure I was safe. That made me feel good.

I love him. I always have loved him but we kind of lost the ability to let each other know for a while. That isn't true for me really. I always knew he loved me but he lost his way. I had hoped that he always knew I loved him but he has told me that he didn't feel loved while he was a teenager. That hurt my heart. I never once stopped loving him.

God is a good God to have let us live this long. I think Michael knows now how much I love him and his sons and his wife. He has a wonderful family and I'm proud of the man he has become.

Because of the life he lived I have a feeling he'll use all of that one day to help others.

Michael has such a strong and kind heart and a joyful one too.
