been thinking of the momentous moments in one’s life… and how they change everything…

for me those moments have included…

the moment I met my beloved… he walked into my parents’ house with a friend who was staying with us… from that instant my life changed forever…we were inseparable from that day forward…

the moment we got married… and began our life together… although we were young it felt like the perfect step and started a lifetime of great happiness…

the moment we became parents, both times... and how our lives changed again in the most amazing and wonderful way…

the moment we became grandparents… and how life changing that has been as each one of our grandchildren has come into the world and added joy to our lives…

the moment we became the seniors in our family…when we returned from the hospital after his mom (our last parent) died and our children began looking after us…

the moment my beloved left me… 

lucky…

this morning I had a memory on Facebook of my youngest grandson, as a baby, swinging in a park close by… there was also a picture of he, his older brother and my beloved on the back deck that same day…

just last Friday, when the boys were here, we talked about swinging in that very park…

today, the kids came downtown, spent a few minutes playing Pokemon Go at the Millennium Library Park, and then picked me up for lunch…

we went for dimsum at Kum Koon Garden, our favourite…

they have a stunning salt water fish tank and my grandson took a few pictures for me…

he had my phone because we share a Pokemon Go account so whenever we’re together he is checking out the game, lol…

the point of this story is how lucky I am to have the opportunity to spend time with my kids and grandkids… and how lucky we both were to be able to make memories with our grandchildren…

been very busy with sports the last few days… last night had dinner with my daughter and oldest grandson and then went to watch his soccer game…

Kyler's team taking a well deserved break...

older one’s team taking a well deserved break, it was very hot…

tonight I went to their house and we had Chinese food for dinner – tomorrow is Jeff’s birthday – and then went to the second grandson’s soccer game…

Tavin on the way to a goal...

on the way to a goal…

both nights the weather was great, although clouds blew by… both boys played very well and I could see the improvement in the oldest, as I had been at one of his games before going to the coast…

reminded me of my dad… he was an athlete in his youth but as an adult he suffered from emphysema so couldn’t participate in sports but he loved to watch and support them… we often went to events at the Arena – for skating and running… Dad taught me that the important thing was to do your best and we always cheered for everyone, not just the front runners…

we followed that same philosophy with our children and now our grandchildren…

what a blessing to be able to see them having fun and learning great life skills…
