A beautiful life

 

Sometimes I am overwhelmed by the love and joy I feel when it comes to my children and grandchildren.

You might find that odd since I almost never see them in person at all. They live all across the country, from coast to coast, as far from me as it is possible to be.

And yet they fill my heart with the bits and pieces of their lives that they share with me.

My eldest is getting married next June and she just bought her dress. I was able to see this via video calls.

My older son just performed on guitar with my granddaughter with both of them singing, "Alleluia" and it was heartrendingly beautiful.

My youngest calls me nearly every day on his way home from work and we share our day, our dreams, our lives.

These are the moments that define a beautiful life.
