Comtemplating.......

Here is a picture of my "kids" at Fire Mountain before they went to homecoming. From left to right: Debbi (Jeremy's girlfriend but I call one of my kids because she's at my house more than she is at home LOL), my middle son Jeremy, and my oldest Jay (real name Jonathan). I look at this picture and think of the past. Gosh, kids grow up so fast. I honestly have to say I'm very proud of how my children are turning out. They are family dependent instead of peer dependent, they are free thinkers, instead of conforming and most importantly they are open minded and non-judgemental. I have always raised my kids to follow their heart and that they are the master of their own destiny! I am here just as a guide. I think for the most part I have been an ok guide, of course looking back there are things that I should have been better at and stuff I should have done. But, that is the past and it cannot be changed:)

Oh, did I mention, they are very outspoken? LOL Each one of them will stand up for what they believe in, speak out against what they feel is wrong and feel the need to protect those at a disadvantage. Each one of them has taught me so much, which if you stop and think about it makes sense.......for they are each very old souls:)

Today, I am comtemplating what kind of world will they be adults in and what the world will be like when they raise their own children. As I look at each of them, I can see the future clearly. The world will be so much better because these young adults WILL be there to lead.

Will they change the world? You bet. Oh, they may not be the one to find a cure for cancer or win the noble peace prize but with their quiet strength they will show others how to live.

Some say that I should be so proud and that Jon and I did an awesome job raising them. I beg to differ. I mean, I am proud of them BUT I can't fully take credit for how they turned out. After all, I'm here just as a guide..........
