If you check out Tinas Blog you have seen all the Diana accolades around her graduation. Having two kids graduated from High School is quite a milestone for Tina and I, 2007/2008 has been quite a ride, and its not over yet.
As parents we have been getting quite a few kudos as of late, if great kids are a direct result of parenting I suppose its deserved. I would chaulk it up to being very consistant and working as a team.
With the recent passing of Wolfgang, my father-in-law, I found the gathering of family very comfortable and enjoyable. We came together in grief and still celebrated the life of a great man. I really do have love for my in-laws and enjoy the time spent.
On Sunday, my 'side' of the family came to celebrate my daughters graduation. This too struck me as a wonderful time. Seeing the support and commemoration, hearing the laughter and striking up important and trivial conversations with family and friends.
Often you hear horror stories about family's. I am grateful to say those are alien to me. The Lord has seen fit to bless me with wonderful relatives, to which I am humbly grateful.
Well, Lee, you have brought a lot to our table of relatives! Mainly a love of laughter, music(of all types) and well, just the ability to not look at things too seriously. Our family loves you too!
ReplyDeleteI love you too lEE!!! You two did do a great job at raiging them!! It is great meeting such a practically perfect family. You dont fight in public, kids dont cuss, they have open minds, you laugh a lot, you make others laugh too....i highly enjoy your family and really am glad to have been able to hang around you all!!
