Feeling Blessed

[ripchris7]

Sitting here now in Illinois, visiting my eldest daughter and her kids and other family, I realize how truly blessed I am.  I miss my four other kids who are in AZ, I have been here since April 9th and I won't be going home till August 5th.  Even though it is hard to be away from them, I realize I need this time with this daughter and her kids and with other family, I grew up here in Joliet, Illinois.  My daughter lives in Oswego, HI to all you ILLINOIANS out there.  It is hard to be away from some of your kids in other to have time with others but, I am so thankful that I am in a position to travel and see everyone.  It is hard to live apart from those we love and to split our time but, it is wonderful to be able to make memories with them all.  My daughter here is in Aruba (lucky her) with her husband for their tenth anniversary.  I am watching the girls (nine and thirteen).  It's kind of fun to have the house to ourselves.  My twenty year old Grandson is here too but, he is actually hardly here.  Thank you God for all the blessings in my life and the beautiful Children and Grandchildren you have given me.  I MISS YOU CHRIS SO VERY MUCH BUT I KNOW YOU ARE WATCHING OVER US ALL.  I hope you are smiling to see our two new Grandbabies and I bet they can see you even when we can't.  So, I love you kids, grandkids, family and friends,  GOD BLESS AND KEEP YOU ALL.
