Walter Bookman fits right in with the rest of our gang of grandchildren.
These are the joys of my life.
Every little face,
smile,
idiosyncrasy.
Every crazy band aid placement,
two-handed wave,
arm full of all of the bracelets of summer.
One little boy who is sick but keeps on keeping on.
One little girl who I find sitting on the floor in my closet quietly trying to finish sewing her mom's birthday gift.
One little boy who planned the play Peter Pan to be performed for his mom's birthday.
All of them sitting at my dining room table,
under the chandelier,
laughing and making merry.
The house alive with footsteps and voices of happy children.
Thank you Lord for all of this!
What a wonderful day.
Sunday after church,
Erika's birthday.
The cast of Peter Pan.
Happy birthday Erika!
We all love you!!
