Smiles

Well today at work was so peaceful, so nice after a long hard weekend. I do have to admit I never thought I would hear myself saying I was ready to go to work. I love staying home and doing craft and things and would really like to be able to just stay home so I could volunteer at church. But right now God has me working and that was good for me today. Last night when I was totally exhausted when a conversation starts.

Larry “Cindy you need to get on Facebook and look.” Me “At what I am tired and don’t want to?” Larry “Just look” Me “Alright but it better be good.” So I get up and log on and there it was the best picture of my son at 27 years of age I had ever seen of him with a smile. Don’t get me wrong when he was a baby there was no one cuter in my eyes but as he got older he never smiled. A lot of it had to do with all the dental work he had to have done and then he just never seemed to give us a big smile. But last night on Facebook there he was bigger than life with the biggest smile on his face along with his fiancée Lauren. I though wow has he been drinking or is it love? Then I see where one of his friends even commented on his smile, so me being the mother that I am I had to ask and after no response I texted him and ask still no response. Boy I though he is either drinking or doesn’t want me to let me know or he is not and mad at me for even thinking he was. So I left it alone then about 30 minutes later he calls and tells me he is taking Lauren home and then he would be home and that his phone died and he didn’t want me to worry. Yes he was using Laurens phone and yes he still lives at home to save money for when they get married and we are very close and he just likes being with us. But the mother in me had to ask while I had him on the phone what got him to smile so big and he just said “Oh mom” However deep in my heart I knew why he had the big smile and it is because he is with the girl that just makes him silly inside I believe they call that love. I am so happy for him and can’t wait for them to start with the wedding plans and being able to help when I can. Larry and I are both very happy for him like we said before and are thankful God has given him a wonderful young woman to love and take care of and she even comes with a wonderful blessing named Gavin. He is our G-man and we love them all to the moon and back.

See I told you it was a big smile

They both look so happy.
