Joy

Tonight I made dinner for the first time in months.
I turned on the radio.
All the kids were dancing.
Even Bradley.
And I looked at all four of them and felt complete.


It is such a joy to have children.
Even though one has had a rough start and an unsure future, I am so grateful for him.


I can see him bringing lots of light into our lives.
He already has.
Even if the world thinks his life is a failure.
He has been a success in mine.
Who cares what people think!
Which, by the way, is a lesson I have had to learn OVER, and OVER in this life.
And the biggest teacher of this lesson is now here in my home with me.



And he's teaching me a lot.
