A Good Thing Happened: Life On Mothers Day this year, I had attended 5 funerals or wakes in the previous 10 days. That much death gets you pondering your mortality and inevitable decline. But when I looked on Facebook, it was filled with love for mothers of all ages. And, in between the mothers, people reached all kinds of milestones. One niece had her first dance recital and was so exited she almost squealed. Another graduated from high school. Babies did baby things for the first time. An old friend ran nine miles. Musicians played gigs and had birthdays. The whole spectrum of life was dancing and singing and carrying on. Made me realize its time to stop thinking old man thoughts and start enjoying the scenery. Maybe Ill go to Little League games with Nancy and sit in the bleachers and let people assume were someones grandparents, just to enjoy that community again. Fortunately, we have a wonderful grandson, Ethan, through whom we can also live vicariously. Theres nothing like celebrating the magic of the world with people who are seeing it for the first time. And we might notice a few things we missed the first and second time around.
