Don't Worry, Be Happy!

As many of you know by now I have finally joined Face book…two days before my birthday to be exact. Well, to my surprise I was bombarded with many, many happy birthday wishes from friends I hadn’t heard from in years. I had no idea how Face book worked and that by me adding my birth date to my profile information, it automatically alerted my “friends list” of my birthday…one of the best gifts this ol’ lady can receive is the “love” of friends.
But I think what surprised me the most on my birthday was the birthday wish Broc wrote in a very special card the boys handmade for me. Broc told me he wrote down a song for me in my card. My first thought was, how cute, he recited the entire Happy Birthday song to me in this card I was about to open. BUT, instead of “Happy Birthday to You”…it was the word’s to the song “Don’t Worry, Be Happy”. I held back the tears and thanked all three of the boys (whom by the way stood one inch from my face as I opened the card with the toothy-ist of all grins in anticipation of my reaction to what each of them wrote to me).

Ok, Ok, so I tried to hold back the tears but the card so just so cute, they were just so cute, how could I help it? Truly what made me cry was the fact that Broc choose these words for me. My first reaction was that I have placed too much of my anxiety and fears of Trey’s situation onto them. Secondly, that I have to remember at ALL times that they are listening (my little sponges) and lastly that as much as a challenge Broc is for me at times, he is so very in-tune to my feelings…how lucky and loved am I! Thank you God, I have been so blessed by these three little boys and that is the very, very best birthday gift of all.
