The little things in life

There are the little things in life that make
life worth living.

1. having a grandson who hands you
toilet paper while your sitting on the
toilet, then makes sure you wipe
properly and flushes the toilet for you.

2. a granddaughter who slobbers all
over your face while giving you
slobber kisses.

3. a grandson who draws his artwork
all over your quilt and desk, then makes
sure he draws on himself so you won't
feel so bad. oh, did I tell you it was a
permanent marker?

4. a granddaughter who so graciously
spits up all over you so you don't forget
her scent. better than that $75.00 bottle
of perfume I tell you!

5. a daughter who lays in the middle
of your bed at 10:00 at night making
sure you know she loves you a million times
over! oh, don't forget the take my breath
away hugs. no I mean really,
she squeezes you until you can't breath!

6. A son who sits in the emergency room,
who doesn't know, who you are, and
ask you over and over why he is there. Then
there is that little sparkle in his eye when
he realizes it's mom, I don't know her name,
but she is my mom!

7. A daughter-in-law who graciously takes
your son home, fixes his dinner, and wakes
up several times during the night to make
sure her husband is still there, breathing
and moaning w/ a headache.

8. A son-in-law who unselfishly takes
care of your daughter and grandchildren so
you don't have to worry about them. Who puts
up with his mother-in-laws silly little antics,
and makes you laugh with his jokes.

9. A daughter who sometimes gives you
credit for raising her right.
By raising her own children in the light
of the gospel. Who listens to her mom,
even when she has other things to do.
Excuse me who more important here??

10. Most importantly a husband who
loves you unconditionally,
Who is by your side, through sickness
and health. who will laugh with you
while you stand looking in the mirror
at your "love handles"
and who loves you no matter what!!

That's what makes the little things in life
worth waiting for!
