I guess when you realize that you are getting older, and have excess time on your hands, you find yourself thinking about old memories of the past. The truth is, you know that your future is much shorter than your past. I think about the special times I had watching my daughters grow up. Special moments in time, at different ages as they made their way through the stages of growing up. Helping with their School work. Drawing pictures for their School projects. This past Fathers Day, after receiving and reading both of my cards from Julie and Jolie, I truly do feel it was all worthwhile. The long hours at work. Working too many week ends and holidays. Relocating too many times to new cities. I do thank God everyday for their mother, who was always there for them. Know what I wish yet? Well, I know we can't go back and correct all the mistakes we made while raising our family. "Its a good thing", as Martha Stewart would say, to reflect back on all the great times we had together. Today I received a very nice letter of thanks from Kevin Hostinsky. Kevin is Faye and Larry's grandson who just graduated from High School. Kevin is majoring in Business Administration in College and working with his Dad. It makes me feel proud that we have such thoughtful young people in our family. The gift was not that much, but Kevin typed Carrie and I a full page, thanking us for the gift and telling us a little about himself and his future plans. Pam, you guys did good! We are proud of you Kevin!
P.S. And, remember...if life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved in God's time. Love you all, Jake
