God bless you!<br /><br /><br />To Kimberly,<br /><br />You are most lovely, gracious, generous and kind.

Then there was a touching, hand written, card of thanks from Terr. At church Kim got up and came over to sit beside me so I could hear her sing. I usually sit by the grandchildren but she has heard me say how it thrills me to hear her song of praise in church and she honored that. (She also spent a lot of time carefully covering a box in wrapping paper, the kind we like to open, that housed a gift she knew I would like. Andrew put together a CD of his favorite music to give to me and Emily brought me a stone incrusted frog on a silver chain. Not a bad morning that started and it off with hugs and kisses from Kristin and the boys who were here from California to celebrate Kristin and Alan’s official engagement!<br /><br />Around three o’clock everyone was gone and it looked like the day was over when Shannon and Molly called with good wishes, I got an email from Beth, talked to my own Mother and Mike, Mary, Joe and Issy knocked at my door! It was a joy to spend some time with them, especially since Terr had to leave with Kris to catch a plane of his own, for an early morning mediation, out of town, tomorrow. <br /><br />I had heard from everybody but Kate…then, as if by magic, the voice mail message sound, coming from my cell phone and a message telling me to look on Chatterbox. You all can see that I found a post I didn’t write!<br /><br />To Kate…<br />Perhaps only you understand my "wild heart", but it has long ago been captured and contained by my children. Each bringing something unique and wonderful to my very being. With my birth daughters I can see the best of my dreams and I get glances at my best physical self from years gone by. Thank you for seeing me, thank you letting me dream my wildest dreams (just a little) through you. Thank you for sharing with me your gift of words. I will treasure them.<br /><br />I love you,<br /> <br />MomFamilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17124825164563838160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36135042.post-46269149626875388452009-05-10T17:34:00.000-05:002009-05-10T17:34:00.000-05:00Couldn't have said it better, Nana. .....
