Giving Thanks

Thanks to Morgan, who - just out of the blue today - put her little arms around me and squeezed my neck, and then kissed me on the mouth with her tiny little lips while we were sitting and watching video of our Thanksgiving Day trip to African Lion Safari on the computer. It was so spontaneous, though, it made me shy for a moment. An "Aw, shucks" kinda shy. I think it was her way of saying 'thank you for a fun day'. Thanks for surprising me every day, sweet girl.

Thanks to Liam, a thoughtful little boy...who looks at me in such a way that it fulfills any dreams I've ever had of how wonderful it would be to have a son. As if to say, "Here I am, Dad. I'm your boy. The one you've always wanted." When he says, "Hi Daddy", runs up to me, and hugs my legs, there isn't a bad feeling in the world that can penetrate my heart. Thanks for wanting me as much as I want you.
These great gifts. Such GREAT gifts!
I wish you peace - and the kind of love I get to feel every day.
