My world

Tonight we met Catherine for dinner.  As we were leaving, I took a picture of Catherine and Thomas.  They are so grown up, and it made my heart hurt.  They are my world, and I just can't believe I don't get to spend every day with them under my roof.  I'm still soaking up the time with Thomas that I can, but I know that there is year is going to go very, very quickly.  I know that I should be grateful and not sad, but I fought some tears as we left her.

We had a surprise at dinner as well.  One of the waiters at the restaurant had graduated with Catherine, and Andrew had him class.  I also had a good relationship with him as he was an Ag kid.  His family moved away last year.  It was so cool to see him.   He came over later and told us if anyone asks, we are his aunt & uncle because he applied his family discount to our bill.  What a fabulous surprise!  It was truly just to be kind, because he wasn't our waiter so he got nothing out of it.

It's been a lovely evening.  I'm so grateful to share it with my little family.
