Every Friday The Gypsy Mama gives a prompt and you are supposed to write about it in 5 minutes. Only 5 minutes! Also, no edits! Just write. So here goes . . .
A few of my favorite things. So much comes to mind, but always, always at the top is my family. Sweet babies with their loving dad. Adventuresome toddlers with their teaching dad. Young ladies with their protective dad. And young adults with their very, very proud dad.
Ahh, the wonders and perils of parenting. The nurse that tells you in the midst of your seemingly endless labor pain that it will be worth it, that you will experience the most amazing emotions once you hold that precious new life in your arms, that you will feel truly unconditional love. I was skeptical, and she was so right. And I was so glad to be wrong.
Keith. Alexis. Leslie. My husband, partner, best friend. Our children, wonderful, different, delightful, clever, caring, thoughtful. Truly a few of my favorite things that bring more blessings than I can count into my life.
I just hope that they feel as blessed, and forgive me for posting one of my favorite family photos....
