Tomorrow we are going to Cincinnati to see our granddaughter, Avery, graduate from high school. Not only do we get to see her graduate, but we also get to hear her give one of the
commencement speeches. The whole family is so proud of her. Her Aunt Debra and Uncle Rod are going also. Her Aunt Cheryl, our daughter, would love to see her niece graduate, but, instead, she is staying home to care for grandma, so that we can go. And that's just the way Cheryl is.
Now I know that I shouldn't boast about my daughter, but I feel like I can, because she is just like her dad. Her husband, Jon, says that she is stubborn. So maybe she gets that from her mother. As I always say, a little stubborness can serve you well. But mostly Cheryl is just the person everyone turns to when something needs to be done. Not only does she always show up to help you out, but she will make it a lot of fun, too.
Cheryl has a tender heart, a smiling face, and can always find the fun in everything she does.
Just ask the kids in her special needs class, or the families that she assists with respite care, or
all the little ladies whose houses she cleans, ask Taylor and Jon. And she will show up tomorrow in time for us to leave, and we know that everything will be just fine. AND grandma will be so happy to see her, and we know they will have a good time.
Cheryl is a blessing in so many lives, but especially in the lives of her family.
Amen!
