A thought.
Tonight I am in a contanplative mood. I am listening to Autumn; allegro, by Vivaldi. I was watching my pictures on a slide show. I think how all of Vivaldi's four seasons are perfect for watching pictures go by. The music fits the times you see in the pictures. It fits the many pictures of nature that we have. The pictures are like an extension of the music. It makes me both sad and happy. Happy because it makes me think of all the nice things of the past and it makes me look towards the future. It makes me sad because I miss some of the fun things, like all of us being home, playing games, talking, like having a lot of animals, or going on hikes in the woods, or skipping school and going skating and sledding on the road. It seems, sometimes, like that kind of stuff doesn't happen any more. Its probably only homesickness that makes me think like that, but well that happens, even to the best of us.

And you are one of the best. I too, often contemplate those happy times and events in our lives. But a very wise person once told me that I should not be sad at what has past but at what was accomplished by what had past. Very true indeed. Now when I think of the times past and what I miss, I also think about how each of my children has grown to be the men and the woman that they are. How they are seeking God's grace each in his own way. That thought makes me happy and I know that we will forge new memories in the present and in the future.
I love you and the woman that you are. Stay focused and remember that you always have your father and I here to support whatever endeavor that you take on.
@perelandra30 - Thank you.
