It is always a pleasure reading along with your posts. I'm sorry that you ended up here with all of us, but we are lucky to have you! You are such an inspiration. It sounds like everything is going really well! Congrats to your son on his anniversary!
I loved reading about your kids doing the dishes unprompted. It is such a small thing, but also indicative of growth in character, awareness, and maturity. I mean, your kids sound like they have always been pretty awesome, but not only that but also growing in to amazing adults. I have been seeing things like that in my children as well. My kids have always been pretty amazing too, but that extra little step to start actively contributing unprompted is humbling to me. I am so proud of my children and I love seeing how you are too! We've been through hard times, so seeing the children do well despite that is a testament to how well we've done despite what life threw at us.
I am happy you are doing well and its always nice to read how your family is doing. I hope you are having a great day, my friend!
