While I was cleaning out a drawer I found a disk that my
dad had made for me years ago.
These disks are something that my dad has been making for over sixty years...all the kids at the original Las Vegas High School would come to my dad's old jewelery store on Fremont Street and order one for themselves or their friends. People are still ordering them... Even now, I'll see random people wearing my dad's hand engraved disks and I'll think, "Wow, My dad made that!"
Well, this disk that I found while cleaning has my name on the front all fancy in my dad's one of a kind beautiful hand engraving, and on the back it says,
"Happiness is your family..."
I put it on right away and I have been really thinking about that quote a lot this week.
Just as all of you love your families...I love my family. Each and every member. We are not perfect... definitely not perfect. We have many ups and downs, happy times and very sad times, good memories and not so good ones, joys beyond compare and heartaches too, but through it all, the thread of love is woven through our eclectic family fabric. That endless love, that love without limits for my forever family brings me great happiness.
Caleb is doing so much better this week. His smile lights up the room!

I hadn't had Crew yet, so now it should say 5!) It is something I notice whenever I see them on others too!
