Happy Mother's Day!

Just wanted to wish all you mother's a happy day! This morning when I was writing in my journal, I commented on the fact that I wish that I could wish my mother a happy mother's day and that I miss not being able to. I then remembered that the best thing that I could do to celebrate my mother's legacy is to be a good husband and father as she would have wanted. In doing so, I was in fact, bringing to pass a wish that my mother would have wanted to have. All of these reminders are what keep us moving forward and in the right direction. Maureen is a great mother to each of our children and grandchildren. She remembers them for every occasion. Me on the other hand, I'm lucky if I can remember what holiday is coming around. She has had a go of it for the last several months and she has had to pull me through it all when it would have been easy for me to be a slackard. I have learned to become more rounded as a husband in tending to needs when they are needed.
We are very fortunate and blessed to be able to have a few of our children around us and wish that we could see the others more often. But we realize that they have their lives that they have to live and not necessarily living for us. We are off to see Nathan graduate from Case Western Dental School, these last 4 years have gone by pretty fast. We are excited for him and Bridgette in their new adventure down in Houston for the next year. At least they are or will be very close to the continental divide. We will miss going out to Cleveland as we like that area and especially the climate, when we've visited. Obviously, during the best times of the year.
The best news though this year is that we will have Marchelle, Rahul and family along with Megan, Charlie and family out to Bear Lake this year! They haven't been for awhile and along with, hopefully, Shaun and Jamie, Kai, don't know about Derek and Rebecca, Elizabeth this year, we could have a crowd! Sorry I'm kinda all over the place right now. So I'll quit.
