For my neice who was wed in January and my daughter who is due to wed this summer. They both have awesome moms đ
I have mentioned my dad  many times on this blog and I have to say I am very blessed to have him.
He is a very strong soft spoken man. He minds his business but is there for myself or any of his family members regardless of the generation.
MY dad is 87 now. My cancer has had some good upsides too. It slowed me down so that I could see even more clearly the important things in my life. You see, my parents were  always very good . They never demanded anything of their children  after we were married. As my mom would say do what you need to do in terms of the holidays etc meaning that they were not going stress us ( their children) out to be there at their home every holiday. My parents would just say no problem, we are here. It was precisely for that easy going and welcoming nature that all 5 of their children and 13 grand children converged on their home on all Holiday’s and  most Sundays for dinners and or a cook out. My parents bought a new swing set, a kiddie pool, kiddie chairs , balloons and balls. My brother even bought a battery powered jeep for the kids to drive in the yard đ So cute. We all brought our kids cozy coupes with us too. It was so cute to see them all in action.
As this Mothers Day approached I was thinking of my mom in the small moments. My mother was at peace in the midst of the storm. Even as my dad laughed and played with the kids on those beautiful busy family days. My mom would gently talk to her children and grand children and even as the kids were running eachother over with their cozy coupes and battery operated jeep. She calmly made up her potted plant arangements useing her back stoop as her workbench.
My parents are a major fact of why I combat my lifes issues so well. My moms death is coming up to its two year anniversary shortly. She remains very much alive in all of here children and my dads heart and memory. Amen.
This past week I went to see my dad. I recently introduced him to Dunkin Donuts breakfast sandwiches đ I had not had one for years myself but I wanted to treat him with breakfast so, it went like this….
Danny pulled into my dads driveway at o’9:00 military time in my geloppy and my dad came right out he had been standing look out LOL . He at age 87 ran down the steps to assist his 53 year old son out of the car. He grabbed the bag from dunks first!  I will  have you know ! đ
So, in we went to my dad house and he  had the table set with paper plates and 1 peice of paper towel each. He made me sit and then got his Kurig going.
I explained what I had gotten and he said oh, I never had one. Well, he thoroughly enjoyed it and I even got him for .75 cents a small thing of their tator tots. While he was eating them he stopped eating and said hum they are suprisingly good. đ
In that quiet moment just being with my dad my mom was brought up. As, I scanned the diningroom pictures of my mom and dad throughout the many years were loving placed by my dad. He said it will be two years in August. I said i know as his eyes filled with tears. I said dad, mom is no longer in pain and his fully healed by Christ and she is with us now and always.
For our moms Happy Mothers Day, Â đ
God Bless You All.
Danny.
Also please pray for The Family of Tim Daly. Tim went to the Lord after a long battle with ALS. Jim is no longer a prisoner of his body. Amen. Please keep them in your prayers this Mothers Day.
