And then they grow up

I spent the afternoon with mom trying to distract her from the confusing things that are mithering her at the moment. She likes looking at old photos and this was one we both particularly liked today. I think this was probably taken in about 1995 when my dad was 65 and my two nephews were about 4 and 7. Over 20 years have passed and there are many things in those years that I wish had never happened. Times when life has been so stressful. Then there are the other times - the times of joy and thankfulness. Mom remembers those times of joy. The pleasure her grandchildren brought her. The love.

I am so pleased.
