A Sentiment

God knew what He was doing when He sent a gentle breeze and brought a lovely butterfly to set my heart at ease. The happiness of your friendship and the gentleness of your words have touched my life in special ways and now I feel assured. Thank you for your loyalty and for reading everyday. I only hope you find things to make a happy day.

Sydney Graduated...

This picture is old and pretty grainy, but it shows what I want to tell you. These are two special little girls in my life. They were adopted by my son, when he and their mother decided to marry. They won my heart from day one. They were introduced to me at Halloween, when John and Karen brought them out to meet us. Here were these sweet little things in their Halloween costumes sitting on  my rocker together holding hands. They looked so cute in their Disney inspired costumes.
Through the years I've had the pleasure of watching them develop into young women. The smallest one, Xoie, is in the process of finding out what she wants to do in her life. I know she will find something that is unique...just as her name is. The other one, Sydney, has always known what she wanted. She wanted to be a physical therapist and accomplished that yesterday by graduating and receiving her  Doctoral degree in physical therapy. I'm so proud of her this morning and just wanted to share the news with everyone.
Congratulations, Sydney...I know that you will accomplish whatever it is that you set out to do. I love you both...
Grandma Pat (Balisha)

Syd ran a half marathon the day after graduation. She's quite a busy young lady.
She'll be home for a time studying for her boards.I hope to see her a few times then.We didn't go to Indiana for the graduation, but I was with her all day in my thoughts and prayers.

Our one and only daughter-in-law is a physical therapist. She works very hard.

I came here via Blotanical. I was drawn in by your Blog title... Never Enough Time... such a true statement. We need to make time for what is most important... I'm off to find some dew on a leaf.
