At the risk of publishing a book about our "Big O", as my thoughts continually drift to him when I consider topics to write about, I bring you yet another story.
This last week, we did a little celebration for American Thanksgiving. I love Thanksgiving, and have often thought it would be wonderful to discover how many countries have this official holiday, and celebrate them all!
However, that is another topic. I love the gathering of friends and family around a table spread with delicious flavours and smells. At some point in the conversation, we like to allow everyone to share something or someone that they are thankful for.
Now, Ocean loves a good party, and the joy of it is often abundant on his face. I smiled at him, and asked him if there was anything he was thankful for? He looked up at me, flashed a huge grin, thrust his finger into the sky and yelled, "God!"
I was speechless, and as tears sprang to my eyes, I recognized the feeling that flooded over the joy inside me....it was hope.
