FATHER, ON YOUR BIRTHDAY...
who would have thought you would be a grandfather twice over? That your glorious, mischievous son would be a father twice over? I feel sure Rafael knows how lucky he is to have baby Isabella or Sissybella as he likes to call her... someone to play with and tease and employ in mild acts of destruction, someone to point the finger at knowing she will never hold a grudge, no matter what.
And who would have thought you would have the other beloved son, the First Born as you like to call him, waiting to add to your cricket team?
Once, it was just the five of us, with no plans other than to enjoy each other, invent new games, and look forward to sharing hours of reading in silence... Once, we even fit in the same cot, all three of us...
Darling Popsy, how do I love thee? Let me count the ways... Infinity to infinity, and all the days beyond... here's to the ever unfolding of the beautiful family you keep helping to create and recreate...
My daughter Leigh and I have a number that we call out to each other.....it goes like this....
ReplyDelete" I love you."
" I love you 2"
I love you 14Two-ty"
Well, I love you 11-ty ten"
that means INFINITY
and I can see that you have so many youngin's now to love infinity....and that belly! That stretches to infinity too.
congratulations!
This is a prayerful post...filled with family miracles and love for one another. Be at peace, Mary Helen Fernandez Stewart
ReplyDeletep.s. I am having cataract surgery very soon...my vision has deteriorated very quickly this summer. I will be back soon. I live with the White Wolf...Lupus also.
Somehow - how can that be? - I missed the arrival of Sissybella? How absolutely wonderful. All felicitations to the patriarch of this MOST AMAZING family. I read each post with deep pleasure, just to know such families as yours exist. And - know what? Your venerable father and Old Blue Skies share the very same birthday!
