It was quiet today. I attended a couple of appointments at the VA, (all is good), and finally got the opportunity to go and have lunch with my wife at her job. It was a pleasent break in the middle of the afternoon. Afterwards I went to my favorite store, Wal Mart, to get a few needed items and I was off to the house to await David's arrival from school. His class had a field trip to an area that annually sponsors Hearts at Halloween, a Christian-based organization that allots for a safe and fun-filled trick or treat party for Special Needs children. David was happy as he got off his school bus with his large bag of candy and prizes, but he easily handed the bag to me, gave me a hug, and went upstairs to change. He will not desire one piece of the treasure trove he carted home, but it was just the idea of participating in the event.
My adopted sister, Yvette, called me from Atlantic City. She and some friends are vacationing there for a few days. Yvette, (and her brother, Ron), are my dear family who recently lost both of their parents within a year. It has been difficult for them but they are both driving through the storm. Yvette has vowed to fully live her life and I am so very proud of her. I asked her to make time on her busy schedule to plan a visit this way. It is always good to see her.
My brother, Alfred, called from North Carolina this evening. He and his wife, Phyllis, are baby-sitting their granddaughter. Al's voice is very hoarse due to an inpatient procedure he has to have on his larynx, but it was good hearing from him, as always. He and one of the twins, Vernon, from South Carolina may be joining me and the family here this weekend as we welcome our baby sister, Cynthia, from Memphis.
The skies were cloudy all day and it began to sprinkle later this afternoon. My wife called to ask if I would like her to bring me home some fried fish for dinner. I love fish and I greedily accepted her offer. (She just walked in the door).
My day has been quiet but content. I see God's hands in it all. I pray that your day is as fulfilling as mine.
I love you all.
Dennis
