We just had a family photo taken while out celebrating my oldest granddaughter's birthday. Looking around that table I feel good about the smiling faces I see.
It is a simple photograph. No one is wearing makeup. Everyone is smiling in a big genuine way and no one appears to feel self conscious.
I am proud of these people. I would be proud even if they were wearing tons of makeup and very self conscious.
Nobody bought these people cars when they turned sixteen. They have managed to dress, feed, house and educate themselves and they have done a good job! They feel good about who they are and deservedly so.
All of them have had to face difficulties that might have left others feeling like failures, but these people just kept at it until they made it to where they are today.
There is a lot of love in our family. And a lot of respect too.
