Today is my daughter-in-laws birthday...so i hope kayla has a wonderful birthday and i am so happy that she will celebrate it with us this evening...i am so very lucky kayla and i have a wonderful relationship ...we have worked to make it that way...
you see it will be 6 years ago on june the 3rd that my son mark married kayla... as as much as i loved her...the thought of losing my son was heartbreaking...i have three wonderful sons and love each one in a very different way...but mark was my helper man since the day he was born...the squishy one...would always nuggie with you...he was the most like me...wears his heart on the outside as well as the inside...i think it was the reality that ...none of my boys would ever move back home...mark and kayla would be living in wichita...he would be finishing his last year at WSU ...michelle and i would be left rambling around this big old house even more...alan was not home a lot...this wedding was happy in many ways ...but my heart was broken...i realized at that point that I DO NOT SHARE WELL WITH OTHERS...i was sharing many things at that point in my life that i did not want to share...the following year i enjoyed their visits back to ark city...and i was so lucky they always stayed here...so damn lucky...as the year ended they decided to move back to ark city and make it their home ...they moved in with us in may ...kayla was hired as a 4th grade teacher and mark went to work for the school system as well (he now works for the county)...and they began their search for a new home...which they found and bought...alan and i helped all we could to turn this house into a home...we had a ball. and so the bonding process began...kayla put her heart and soul into the work that needed to be done on this house...and they were able to move into the house in aug...although the work still cont. on this house until they sold it a year ago...and bought a huge 2 story home...which is a work in progress...by this time journey had arrived and all of our lives centered on her...
kayla works as a teacher and i have been lucky enough to spend my days with journey...and i do think it was hard for kayla to share in the beginning...but we both know sharing is not easy...we both have found a way to make it work for our family...and i can say i do not want mark back anymore...and i love my ginny time but as happy as i am to see her in mornings with that smile...i am so glad to see kayla arrive to pick her up in the afternoon...i know now why you have kids when you are young...so see sharing is a good thing :)
happy birthday kayla and happy anniversary to mark and kayla and i am thankful they include us in their family of three...soon to be four (can not wait for the arrival of felicity) you all go out and have a wonderful day :)
