The teenager is now a legal adult! Happy Birthday Eighteen-ager!
The birthday reminded daughter of yet another change paving the way for her big brother's move at the end of the summer. She voiced her concern with tears this evening, prompting a family meeting where daughter shared her feelings with her brother (she loved him, she will miss him). Then she prayed for him (that he graduated, that he was an old man, that he would visit her). It was a beautiful, slightly comical and very joyful family meeting that ended with a four-part rendition of the Star Spangled Banner.
The two of them have been through a lot together, and I know it will be hard for her. Tonight, the teenager illustrated his maturity by the loving way he consoled his sister and prayed for her comfort. I am so blessed to be part of this family!
And the quest? I'm in the office, going through files... but I'm not sure it's possible to be done by the end of tomorrow!
That is very special!
