All Together

Yesterday was a wonderful day. I was with all of my children. We had not been together for over a year. The day started off at the Baptism service and continued on at a party at my son's house. There were about 20 people there and a nice number of children. The adults ate and talked and the children all played together nicely. It was a great mix of people. The food was delicious. The best part of the day, to me, was a simple act of normalcy. My older son's electric car trunk had broken. He could not get into it unless he crawled into the back seat and opened the lever. The dealer said it would cost $500 to fix it. He asked his brother to look at it since he is handy. They got out some tools and took apart the trunk. Wires were moved and fuses were reinstalled. After almost an hour, it was fixed. This is what would have normally happened if they lived close to each other. Since they live far apart, these simple brother moments cannot happen. Yesterday they did. That meant the world to me.
