All of mine will be in the same place at the same time and I'll be there too which is nothing short of a modern day miracle. Friends of Chelsea are throwing her an oyster roast tonight and who doesn't like an oyster roast? The weather is perfect! Jeremy's here for it and the ever illusive Kristen is even attending.
As I age, I'm ever grateful for my kids and the fact that we really do enjoy each other.
There's the girls of course. I went from living alone to having a wife and her three daughters move in with me. Talk about culture shock! Plus Goddess is female, a real bitch! And then Winston, the little gay dog, moved in with us too. It's often overwhelming though I am learning a lot. I never knew how much toilet paper is actually used in the course of a day. It makes me feel sorry for trees.
It doesn't end there.
There are these other kids.
Ryan and Dani Sadowski have been part of my life their entire lives. I don't know what I would do without them. I don't know what they would do without me. Yesterday I took Ryan a bag of socks. Somehow he's grown up without understanding people need socks. I admire this about him but there are times when socks are necessary.
Last night Mandy Sayles and I were going back and forth on Facebook. I've known Mandy her entire life. She lives and performs in New York City and cracks me up. She's one of the funniest people I know. Her Mother and Father kidnapped me once and forced me to attend Seminary. Years later they realized this was a tragic mistake and have spent the rest of their lives doing penitence.
Mandy has brother named Eliot. Coincidence? I think not though Guy denies I had anything to do with it.
On the other hand, Mandy has claimed that she must be my daughter because we're so much alike to which I say, "I never had relations with that woman."
Hold on, I'm lighting a cigar.
His sister Amber actually moved to Savannah for a while and though we only saw each other occasionally, it was wonderful to have her near. She's on my mind a lot these days as she's embarked on an unexpected journey and her father has turned into a Hobbit and there's a picture Micah took to prove it.
I love them all.
They enrich my life, make me laugh and keep me young. I gain tremendous joy watching them become them.
Then Micah marries Mary Catherine and Dani marries Peter and the number of kids in my life grows.
Now Chelsea is finally getting around to marrying Sam and ...
it just doesn't get any better.
I love my kids.
