We celebrated our 50th wedding anniversary in 2008. Our children helped us celebrate with an all expense paid all arranged vacation In Hawaii.

This morning I posted about happiness. Now I want to illustrate one example of happiness.
That example is our son, Allen.
One of the happiest days in our lives happened in San Gabriel, California when Allen was born.
He has always been a joy and a blessing. In forty-seven years I can't remember one day when he wasn't a joy in our lives. We thank God for him every day!
He is always in a good mood and a joy and a pleasure to be around.
Like his sister before him, he left our home in Northern California and went to Malibu to attend Pepperdine University. We missed him terribly.
When he graduated he continued to live and work in Southern California. We moved to Arizona.
Another happy day in our lives was when he and Carol moved from Southern California to Phoenix and now live about five miles from us.
Yesterday was Allen's birthday. In our hearts we celebrate his birthday--everyday!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY ALLEN!

What a wonderful blessing to have your children so close as adults! I pray that our kids will "want" to remain close to us as adults be we shall see!
Happy Birthday to your Allen! I am sure he reads his Parents blogs so he will see our bday wishes himself. If not, please share them with him won't you ? :)
Bless you my friend!
Clif, I can see the look of such pride and love for your son right through the print of your blog! How wonderful to have a son that brings joy to your life...it is a blessing, just as God intended for our children to be. For you and Charlotte to have both a son and a daughter that live for the Lord, and love both of you so much is precious. We are blessed to be able to say the same of our own son and daughter...they are gifts that continually open in our lives, bringing new joys every day.
God bless you, and happy birthday to Allen!
Mary
