"The Big Day..!" 'Judith Whitehead' (Inspiration Monday)

"Guest-blogger Judith Whitehead lives in Amherst N.Y. and has worked in the
 ophthalmology field of medicine for over 30 years...
 Today she talks about  a new chapter in life...  Enjoy...

Today I am going over check lists and taking off work to make sure everything is set for the big day…in just 3 short days my oldest son will be getting married and we will start a new chapter in our life.

 Our lives seem to be defined by the many events that we pass through; marriage, births, deaths  etc. The marriage of a child is one of the biggest life changing occurrences’ in our lives.  Our sons moved out of the house a long time ago and that was an adjustment to live in the empty nest rattling around in  their empty rooms.  Although our children grow up and become independent people, they will always be our children to worry about no matter what the age.  Their sorrows become ours and their happiness only makes us feel happier.  Children are ours  forever no matter what the age and we never stop worrying about them.  

When our boys were born I thought it was our job to help them grow up into contributing adults and then we could sit back and enjoy them.  But the worry never stops because we always want our children to be happy.  

I hope and pray that this new chapter in our sons life brings him more happiness than words can express  because as our family grows we are so  blessed to partake in this special event in all of our lives.

Happy Veterans Day!
