If Not A Miracle, at the Very least a Rejuvenation,  Fall Season Of Miracles

The POSITIVE ATTITUDE for the Weary Soul group gives you the opportunity to share the miracles in your life during this fall season with a creative writing challenge . Join in on the challenge with the  FALL SEASON OF MIRACLES CONTEST | Positive Attitude for the Weary Soul Group

 

We are coming up on the season of Holidays and Thanksgiving will be the first. It will be a time of reflection for the positives in our lives and for the good fortune we may have and of course our health. Almost every day has been a day of Thanksgiving for us, as we see the little spirit grow within our youngest grandson, Raphael.

 

Raphael was a very unexpected surprise. A late in life arrival that was uncertain whether he would be with us.

We are all proud of the little ones that grace our lives, and can never have enough good feeling or enough time with them.

Raphael has become a rejuvenation to us and with each day we become more appreciative that he is with us and for the way he enriches our lives.

He is not our first, and the others have no less a position, in our lives, but with his smile and probably quicker than average abilities, he can't help but be a shining star.

We no longer feel the weight of those years we've traveled as we have a motivation to try and set the foundation for what we hope will be a flourishing and happy life for this little guy.

He fills us with his smile; he makes us a laugh at his quick responses. He makes me shudder at the mannerisms he displays that seem all to familiar to mine, and yet there is no blood connection to this little charmer.

 

 

Raphael has already demonstrated an appreciation for the finer things in life and has taken an enthusiastic interest in learning.

He has already gotten to appreciate the intricacies of the game of golf, and is always looking for an opportunity to get on my practice mat and putt a few.

Baseball and football are also in there, so his education is well rounded.

 

 

Raphael still needs a little help in choosing his proper team colors, but hopefully, I will have enough time to give him that talk as well.

Miracles are all around us, and what at first might appear to be a poor choice can turn out to be a most positive experience. Raphael is our Thanksgiving present, every day we get him around us.

Children are miracles from above regardless of their size, sex, or abilities.  This little one is surely a beautiful child that I am sure will give you joy for always. He is fortunate to have been born into a family full of love as it is apparent he was.

Ed, even if you did not write a word, and just had a picture of you and Raphael together, it would be very obvious that he is a true blessing in you life, and you to him.  All you have to do is look at the faces :)

Ed, I certainly understand. I know sometimes things start out one way, then take us by surprise, dragging us down a wonderful road we never even knew existed.

Hi Ed!  What a wonderfully written post!  I love hearing grandpas talk about their little ones and he certainly has proven to be a little charmer already--he's charmed his grandpa, one of the most special people in his life!

Ed, first of all I hope you aren't snowed in too badly.  What a nice post about your little miracle.  If he is going to have a Yankees shirt on at least he has Jeters number.  It's a good life.

Blood related or not they grab your heart and never let go.  What a joyous trip those babies are.  By the way I think he has amazing taste in teams.  Let the boy choose the best.  Enjoy.

Such a tootie patootie!  My parents have two of these little miracles and I am old enough to be their mommies!  I wasn't thrilled going through my high school years with (half) parental duties but they are my pride and joy ;)
