I wrote what I thought was the masterpiece of all time the other night and before I could Post it, I accidently hit the wrong button and soooo! Bye, bye blog! And too late at night to write another one so I'll try and do better now! I was doing a puzzle in my book the other day and one of the cryptograms just hit me between the eyes! It said, "Family faces are magic mirrors. Looking at people who belong to us, we see the past, present, and future. We make discoveries about ourselves." And I thought how true!!! Looking at my brothers at my "Big Party", I remembered so much of our life in the past! Living on the farm, life in the city, etc. From birth to the present! Here were my family, biological and my stepdaughter who plays a big part in my life and is really a daughter! My stepson could not make the party because of medical reasons but I raised him too! He and his wife were missed! So much of my married life evolved around him and his wife and family! I want him to know that! Then the boys and Flo and their children who have such a part in "my" future! One doesn't get to a Great-grandmother on her own. And to think that I have some great-grandchildren that are old enough to get married and then it will be the Great-Greats!! Hope I hold up to see that!!!! How amazing! And all from Cappy and my marriage!!! I can see him now, (in my dreams!) having just as much fun with the Great-Greats as he had with his children! He was a great father! Spoiled the kids rotten but enjoyed every minute of it!! When the in-laws started showing up he really made them "his" kids too! We were Mom and Pop to so many kids! Or at least that's what their freinds called us and still call me Mom today when I see them and yes, I do see them every once in awhile because the family keeps in touch with their friends!!! So I hope all of you can have a "Family Magic Mirror" someday!! Love you all.
