I am generally not a very emotional person. That’s not saying I don’t cry, but not often. This morning, I did.
Yesterday was my birthday and there were the usual greetings, a few cards and messages and a couple of gifts. I enjoyed each one and am very grateful to all of those that took the time to make the day a good one.
But, the big one came this morning.
During the night, my kids transformed my office into a shrine. Nope, there is not a Buddha in the corner, or a thousand candles burning, instead there are treasures on the wall. Treasures that mean more to me than gold, they are simply priceless.
This morning, the walls of my office are covered with my heart in the form of t-shirts and jerseys. One from every school that we cover, one from each of my grands, one from Oktoberfest, Little Rascals Daycare, and the jersey that my son wore when he played t-ball so many years ago.
