His birthday

We celebrated Darcy's 22nd birthday today.  How can that be, you ask?  I know it doesn't seem quite possible.  But the facts are what they are. 

With Darcy living out on his own it seemes a bit weird not to make his birthday dinner and celebrate with the family. But as Bob Dylan says "the times they are a changin'". and change they do.

So it was just Wayne & I that went with Darcy to The Docks, for the best wings in town.  As we're celebrating with him I get overwhelmed with emotions the more we talk.  About his life, his choices, what he's doing, where he's going and everything in between. 

Darcy has always been quite independent and a free-thinker. Not wanting to conform to the ways of society he takes his own path as he journeys through life. What a blessing he has been and will continue to be as he continues to gain his own independence. He has given us so many joys.....

It's such a joy to have a close relationship with him, in fact, we have a close relationship with all our kids, and I am so very grateful. So while we didn't celebrate in the tradional way, we still were able to bless him with a gift and of course some of my famous homemade chocolate chip cookies.

Blessings
