On Christmas my four daughters were together for the first time since my 3rd daughter got married. This is the first time my 3 married daughters and their husbands have been together. This is the first time I got to spend some time after Christmas with my youngest grandchildren. The first Christmas I got to spend with my 2nd son-in-law. The 6th Christmas without my beloved wife.
My three oldest daughters have been married for 3 years, 2 years and the last daughter 6 months. My first son-in-law was the only son-in-law to meet my wife. I think that he was very lucky to have this opportunity. He got to meet the a main ingredient of his wife’s personality. The girls all get some of their personalities from this wonderful woman. Some they get from me. My son-in-laws have a very good chance to get to know me. I’m not really shy at who I am.
We will have two more opportunities for all of us to be together. It is family that gives me they greatest pleasure. Playing with my grandkids makes me feel younger. Talking with my daughters allows me to stay a dad. Being with my son-in-laws allows me to ‘hang out’ with the guys. That was something I didn’t get too many chances to do with 4 daughters.
I can’t wait for the next 3 days to start. I get to spend more time with my family. They are wonderful to be with.
Family is wonderful!
I would have liked to have met your wife, especially knowing her 4 wonderful daughters. Glad you had a great Christmas! Hope to see you on New Year’s Eve… guests are more than welcome!
I’m still not sure about New Year’s Eve. I think they are still trying to figure out what time they are leaving. So far it is some time Friday. If it is really early in the morning, I may say goodbye early to get to your get together. The drivers need their rest.
