Today is my 25th birthday. I'm feeling a little emotional today...but not really in a bad way. I was thinking about what it must be like for my parents to know their "baby" is 25 years-old. I cried this morning when I opened the birthday card they sent. I've always known I am loved by my parents. There has never been any doubt because they have made a point throughout my life to let me know that I am loved. But when I read their card this morning, their words made me really miss them today! Then I went to the grocery store and there was a man outside raising money for Alzheimer's research. He asked if I'd been personally affected by Alzheimer's disease. I thought about my Grandpa. (Has it really been 3 years since he died?) The gentleman at the store gave me a packet of Forget-Me-Not seeds in exchange for clearing out the loose change in my purse. My heart felt a little heavy thinking about Grandpa...in a bitter-sweet sort of way. I sure do miss him.... One of my housemates and I took a scrapbook we all put together over to our wonderful neighbors as a thank-you for their kindness and friendship toward us. It's silly.... We've only moved across town, not across the country. But I miss them already. They have been such an amazing example of godly parents and their little boys are so great! I think a pool party in their honor is definitely in our future!
I am blessed.
