Thankful Sunday

 I am thankful for my father-in-law.

Ward's cousin, Cynthia, decorated the cake.

Yesterday, we celebrated my FIL's 93rd birthday. It was a typical family afair in his backyard with family and friends. With fans, plenty of shade structures, and cold drinks, the 90-degree temperatures weren't too bad. Add to that music and little kids running around, and it was a festive time indeed.

The family band. Ward's father is playing the bongos.

My father-in-law has lived a good life despite some tragedies and contributed positively to the lives of so many others. And as part of this life, he and my mother-in-law raised four amazing children, including Ward. I have definitely benefited from this.

So, for the wonderful human being my father-in-law is and the excellent example he set for Ward, I am thankful.

Until next time...
