Making Memories

This has just been one of those

"over the top"

busy weeks..

It was Brook's homecoming at Southwest.

But... now that it's all over,

it is one of those times

where you are so thankful

that you have been a part of.

My house is covered in glitter, sparkles,

ribbons, and fringe fuzz from Brook's mum.

But... (this one I know from experience)....

These are the times that both children

and their parents look back on

with smiling memories.

Now that Brent is about to turn 20 years old...

I look back and remember

his first garter I made him,

and the girl friend's (or date for the week)

mums I made over the years.

I giggle about his taste, and him thinking

I was putting too much on it.

When has a girl ever thought that

about a mum. hee hee

So as I get ready for bed tonight.....

completely ready to relax for a while

I am forever grateful for these memories and

YES.. even these messes...

Because when the time has long passed

Those are all we have left.
