Yes, they are a blessing beyond measure.

Saturday, at my nephew's wedding, S14! sat next to me as we watched the ceremony. Of course it affected me, but I was in a good mood and happy for my nephew. As the ceremony progressed, my thoughts were sad, but I kept them very quiet in my head and my sadness was only a shadow to the joy of the event. Somehow, at the just the right moment S14! reaches over and grabs my tightly, giving me the three squeeze "I love you" that we shared for years when he was much younger. It's was an unusually direct display of love and empathy for him, the teenage boy. We held hand through most of the ceremony.

I truly am blessed.
