Hello,
gentle readers!
It’s been a busy month for me so far (I know, it’s
only the beginning of March)! My son flew into Phoenix
for a long weekend (just to visit) and it’s been wonderful (though by the time
you read this, he’ll be back home in Texas
What amazes me the most though, aside from making
me laugh, is how much like his father he is. Same stance (when they stand side
by side, you really notice it…they could be brothers instead of father and
son), same laugh, same speech patterns, same sh**―excuse me― mischievous grin!
And they both have a tendency to get loud! Really loud, like they’re yelling
across miles even when they’re in the same room.
It has always been this way. Even when my son was
younger (I think this is inherited….my DH’s family was loud, but in a good way)!
For as much as he is like his father, he’s also
very much like me. He can be incredibly soft-hearted and compassionate (which
he tries to hide, though those who know him well see it). He loves children (as
do I) and we share of fondness for scary movies and slapstick comedy―the scarier and sillier, the better.
The other thing that astounds me (and makes me proud) is how much he has
grown into a wonderful man and loving husband (did I influence this? I hope so).
He’s no longer the little boy I held in my arms and rocked in the rocking chair
and hasn’t been for quite some time, but I remember those days quite fondly. And
apparently, so does he.
Like I said before, it’s been a wonderful visit. I
so enjoy his company!
Until
next time, remember to spread kindness wherever you go. A smile can go a long way in making someone's day!
