  • Gaby inspires me to be a better person

  • Gaby makes me giggle like a girl
  • Greyson makes me laugh really loud

  • Greyson knows how to love all kinds of people

  • Greyson makes every day an adventure
  • Gaby gives me words of encouragement all the time
  • Greyson tells me he loves me in front of his guy friends
  • Gaby gives her all to what and who she believes in
  • Greyson creates beautiful music to give to people
  • Gaby creates beautiful things with her hands and gives it all away
  • Greyson lights up a room
  • Gaby carefully brings light to difficult situations
  • Greyson's hugs help me when I'm sad or tired
  • Gaby's affection comes delightfully when I least expect it and when I need it most
  • Greyson gives a great foot rub or neck rub- when I need it the most
  • Gaby listens well
  • Greyson is concerned about what's real and chases it
  • Gaby is concerned about real in relationships and works to preserve that

I could go on. But...you would probably be really annoyed with that. Yes, I have had hard days as a mother, just like many of you. But it doesn't change a thing. Every day counts. ...and every test is worth it. Have you counted your blessings? It is a great exercise in gratitude.

I love reading about you, your kids, your hubby, and simply about God's goodness in life.
But boy do I miss sitting across the table from you at Table for Two and talking about life.
