The Unsinkable's

I don't know if I have said this lately, but I have the best daughter in the world. She is unsinkable and I love her so! She is a bright spot in my day, she makes me smile, laugh, and basically warms my royal heart. God is so good. He blessed me with a daughter that I can laugh with (and at), share my strenths and weaknesses with, chat with, problem-solve with, and the list goes on and on. We talk every day, sometimes several times during the day. We discuss babies, irritants, diapers, work, exercise, men, songs, God, our spiritual lives, our weaknesses, our strenths, our hopes and our dreams. We encourage each other, we listen to each other, we council each other as Christian sisters should, we haven't been upset with the other one in so long, I don't know if I could even think of a time when I was irritated with her.

She has married a man that is perfect for her. He is solid, loving, understanding, and a real Texas man. He can appreciate her unsinkable spirit and love her through her twirling and her random "blonde" moments regarding vegetables and other quirky things. I think that is what gives her spice! They compliment each other and I am very proud of both of them. Dave's parents raised a wonderful man just made for my daughter. I prayed for someone like that for her for many, years. God knew it, we just had to be patient ... they would find each other when the time was right. And they did.

Their anniversary is this month. May 18th. We will be spending their 5th anniversay together in Indiana while celebrating my inlaw's 50th anniversary. (Even though I am divorced, I didn't divorce my in-laws! In fact, my SIL said that I got custody of her and she has visitation rights! It was one of the nicest things she has ever said to me!) I am grateful that Dave loves the family and enjoys spending time with all of us. I told him he is rapidly gaining ground on being the "top of the list." My best times with Dave have to be on the deck, late in the evening after a delicious meal, he enjoys an occasional cigar -and choses one that he thinks I will like to smell, we just sit and chat and let the evening slowly trail into darkness. It is great! Dave is an unsinkable SIL.

They have given me two great joys... My Tot and little David. I get to see them in 11 more days. I am going to spoil them, hug them, rock them, laugh at them, snuggle their little necks and breathe in their little baby smells. I miss them so. I am going to hand them right over to their parents at the first sign of a dirty diaper! It is one of the absolute joys of being a Nana. I can change them if I want... or I can HAND THEM BACK! hahahahahahahhahaaaa. Life is good.
