The road less traveled

I enjoyed a weeks visit with my daughter & son-in-law around July 4th. I had a wonderful time being shown all the sights in Charlottesville where they live. My daughter planned a lot of day trips for us - a day at the beach, two days in Washington, D.C., a day at Monticello, home of Thomas Jefferson, etc. Mixed into all that were meals spent with her husband's parents & grandparents.

My daughter & hubby are having a house built, so we went to visit that everyday to see what new thing the builder had done on it. My daughter is so excited about it all, and can hardly wait to live there! I can't say I blame her - it's a beautiful home! I know they will fill it with love and kindness.

As I think back on choices my daughter has made so far in her young life, I am so impressed by the good choices she has made. She seems to have a history of taking the "high road" in life. She wants to do the right thing, even if it's hard or requires sacrifice. You don't see that in a lot of young adults anymore. I can only say that I am very thankful that she is living her life this way. It brings honor to her and to all her family. She makes us all proud to call her our daughter, sister, daugher-in-law, or friend. I can't wait to see how she raises the children God gives her someday! They will be blessed to have such a wonderful mother!
