Luke is pretty timid in front of too many people so we weren't sure how the recital would go. He did awesome! We were soooooo very proud of him! He had a big grin and so did we! I fought the tears off pretty well most of the time. I don't think I can even sum up the emotions I was feeling today. I was overwhelmed with emotions. Gratefulness for being here to see this day, Joy for Luke having her as his teacher, Love for Luke, So very Proud of the little boy he's become, Sadness that my Grandparents aren't here to see these things, and much more! Today while we sat there and listened to those kids play it felt big to me.... It was. God has blessed us greatly. I sat there and realized that life is happening all around me and I'm just so thankful that I get to be here for it all!
Our family welcomed a new baby this week too! Another reminder of God's miracles. I loved holding that baby and just relishing those moments.
I also have a cousin who is breaking records and taking names in high school wrestling! It's been fun to watch and we are incredibly proud of the person he is.
The recital, the baby, the wrestling.......I'm seeing it, feeling it, smelling it, hearing it.......I'm loving it all. Grandma would have loved it all too, I'm missing her in the midst of it all.
It's so easy to take it all for granted and I do but not today.
Love,
Jess
Today I'm loving
