I LOOKED IN THE MIRROR AND WHAT DID I SEE—A MUCH OLDER VERSION OF WHO I USED TO BE
I RECOGNIZE THE BABY BLUE TWINKLE IN MY EYES AND THERE ARE A MILLION MEMORIES IN EACH LINE THAT CHANGED MY FACE TO REFLECT THIS VERY TIME.
THE SILVER “LIFE” LIGHTS IN MY HAIR ARE A REMINDER THAT MY JOURNEY BROUGHT ME TO HERE.
LOOKING BACK….WHAT WOULD I CHANGE?
LOOKING BACK….NOT ONE SINGLE THING.
IF I HAD MADE A DIFFERENT TURN, MADE A DIFFERENT DECISION OR LOVED DIFFERENT PEOPLE, WHERE WOULD I BE?
I WOULD I HAVE MISSED OUT ON HAVING MY SON, MY BEST FRIEND AND LOVE OF MY LIFE
AND I WOULD I HAVE MISSED MY GRAND BABIES WHO ARE BECOMING MORE AMAZING WITH EACH DAY OF THEIR LIVES
AND I WOULD I HAVE MISSED MY GREAT GRAND BABIES THAT ARE JUST BEGINNING TO SPARKLE AND SHINE?
LOTS OF THINGS HAVE HAPPENED ALONG THE WAY, SOME WERE GREAT, SOME WERE GOOD, SOME WERE BAD AND SOME WERE JUST SIMPLE, NORMAL AND MUNDANE BUT ALL OF THEM EVOKED A REACTION THAT CREATED ME.
SO WHEN PEOPLE LOOK BACK TO REMEMBER ME, I WOULD BE HAPPY IF I WAS THE REFLECTION OF THESE 2 THINGS
1. MY SON IS THE BEST DAD IN THE WHOLE WORLD
2. MY GRAND BABIES ARE PURVEYORS OF KINDNESS EACH DAY OF THEIR LIVES
