Jeremy’s Birthday

Yes, I still remember the lively, bouncing boy we raised. Hard to forget pure energy. He made quite an impact on my life as his dad. I think the closer I get to heaven, the more I’m excited to be seeing him again. It has been ten years since his last Birthday celebration here on earth. And to answer everybody’s number one question, “Yes, it still is a big heartache to not have him around for the last ten years.” Parents aren’t supposed to outlive their Children, is the altruism. It’s just not normal. But we still have our three precious daughters. I get to spend this day with my oldest daughter, Jennifer. She is such a blessing. Everywhere we ride I hear “Teachah, teachah” being yelled towards her vehicle. She is known int he whole community as “Teacher.” Jessica is our grandchild producer, and a wonderful wife and mother to Brad. She can probably do more things in one week that would take anyone else a month  (or me a year). And our youngest, Bethany, is such a blessing to me and Debbie as we grow older. She is always so faithful and even sacrificial to help us meet our growing needs. Ah, “family,” does it get any better than that? I don’t think so.
