Saturday Nov. 14
Well yesterday we celebrated my son's 21st birthday. It was a very monumental birthday too. You see my son was born with Down Syndrome. He makes my life a very joyous one and I had to repay him for all of the times that he's pulled me out of the dark hole called life. No matter how down you might be, Matt always seems to pull you out into the light. My other son is 18 and attends college on a full scholarship. So I'm proud of both of my kids. Anyhow we took my 21 year old son to the Casino last night. Before that we ate at Red Lobster. Beings that I'm on the mushies, the Broiled Salmon and Mashed Potatoes hit the spot. My son had a blast at the Casino. He learned what it's like to lose your money after being ahead $40. Oh well.lol. I told him when he goes again, he needs to learn how to push the button that says, "CASH OUT". Needless to say he hugged me and told me that this was the best birthday that he ever had and that he loves me.
So it all made me start thinking how lucky I am to have such a wonderful family. And it makes me want to work even harder to lose this weight that I have so that I can be around for many years to see each birthday that my kids reach and keep watching that smile on Matt's face. I want to be there for Matt just like he is there for me everyday. Making me understand that life has many obstacles but no matter how hard they are to climb, you can get to the top of them if you keep trying. :mad2:
