Good Morning Everyone,
Happy Birthday Jane!!
Todays story is about missed time.....
All Those Years
My friend Debbie's two daughters were in high school
when she experienced severe flu-like symptoms. Debbie
visited her family doctor, who told her the flu bug had
passed her by. Instead, she had been touched by the "love
bug" and was now pregnant.
The birth of Tommy, a healthy, beautiful son, was an
event for celebration, and as time went by, it seemed as
though every day brought another reason to celebrate the
gift of Tommy's life. He was sweet, thoughtful, fun-loving
and a joy to be around.
One day when Tommy was about five years old, he and
Debbie were driving to the neighborhood mall. As is the way
with children, out of nowhere, Tommy asked, "Mom, how old
were you when I was born?"
"Thirty-six, Tommy. Why?" Debbie asked, wondering what
his little mind was contemplating.
"What a shame!" Tommy responded.
"What do you mean?" Debbie inquired, more than a little
puzzled. Looking at her with love-filled eyes, Tommy said,
"Just think of all those years we didn't know each other."
