I have always appreciated my kids, make no mistake!
But, perhaps because of the holidays of late, I've had
this opportunity to sit back and enjoy them in their
various roles as parents, guests, chefs and friends. I
watched my daughter preparing amazing foods, utterly
at home amongst all the brouhaha that goes on at
familial gatherings. My thoughts ran along the lines of
"Oh my God, we actually brought these incredible people
into the world!" I swear, I even had this aha moment
as Michelangelo's Creation of Adam popped into my
head . . . "Oh, so this is what God must have felt like."
I was similarly moved last night when we had supper
with my son. We sat in the kitchen over a glass of wine
as he prepared this amazing soup from scratch. It was
a bit like being in a 3-D movie . . . surrealistic! I was
so moved, I kept tearing up! What a gift our children
are! Somehow, I need to write a thank you letter to
God! . . . and Don Luis Ferreira . . . we done good!!!
bright blessings ahoy
overwhelmed with gratitude
must pay the piper
