June 6, 1944

A  D  DAY

Why not? I’ll take it. Life ….
A delicious day - a D Day….
I would want them every day….
A June wedding to a wonderful wife….
A beautiful daughter a year later….
A dancer, a smile, a compliment about her
every time we go to church or the store….
A son, our  second child,
curly brown hair, a laugh you can hear
from every corner of the playground….
Mom and dad, on both sides, still very
much alive and they love to see and be
with and baby sit for our kids…. honestly….
A decent jobs, that’s another d… decent….
A great house in a very friendly
blue color neighborhood….
A third kid, another girl, a fourth kid,
another boy - and all is still going
so,  so wonderful - no D-Day, death
or disaster, the Sixth of June, 1944
on our calendar so far…. Thank you,
God, for so, so much  - so far - and
for so much more to come….
