Adult Children

Today is my youngest child's 18th birthday. My oldest is soon to be 22, and middle child just turned 20...it makes it easy to remember...also, they were all born in February. Love month!

Truly I love them. They are incredible children. I am so blessed. Why on earth, literally, God poured down from His Throne in heaven, to me, me?!, three wonderful children, I will never know this side of Heaven. I thank God often.

I am very emotional today. It must be due to the youngest becoming a legal adult. Adult children (isn't this an oxymoron?) seem to be fast becoming my favorite times of their lives. I'm not sure my husband thinks so. College expenses are just a wee bit more than braces & basketball game tickets. But, I'm the one thinkin' out loud, so yes, this is my favorite time, as was birth, toddler, elementary, middle school?nah, and high school. Maybe, I have just been so thrilled to have made it through each stage that the next one naturally is my favorite.

Hummm, that makes sense. Besides, I'm a cup half full kind of woman. Thank God for that, too!
