I Declare Myself Blessed

As a child I wanted to be a pilot and writer I wasn’t interested in much else. I became a Marine at 17 a husband at 20, a father at 23 a grandfather at 50 I am a happy middle age fat man with the same wife of 41 years and she is still all I will ever need. I am blessed. Much more than I deserve A more than wonderful wife, 2 fantastic daughters and 3 sweet grandchildren. A son in law that loves my daughter and their children Oh yea, and a crazy dog. I can hear our granddaughter asking daddy over the phone if they can go somewhere after work when he gets home while her brother and his dog play happily out back Grandma and aunty entertain the youngest of the pack and now mommy puts them all in the tub splashing is followed by laughter and more splashing and laughter and splashing until all have had a scrub Just in time for daddy And that is exactly why I bought this house
