The Best Days of My Life: The Family Day! Just like a person can have more than one “Best Friends” in a lifetime, One can also have more than one “Best Day of Their Life”. I have had several “Best Days” in my life, but a few really do stand out. One of my best days was when my first daughter was born…and healthy. From that day forward, I have loved and enjoyed her; she blesses my life. Another best day in my life was the birth of my second healthy daughter. From that day forward, I have enjoyed, loved, and learned from her. She blesses my life. She and my first daughter love and help others, too. We played, learned, laughed, loved, and enjoyed many best days together. Then, my next best day arrived; it was the birth of my youngest child…a boy. From that day forward, I have loved and enjoyed him; he blesses my life. While my children were growing up: we loved, they danced…we camped. Together we learned about God by studying His teachings and attending church. Together we learned kindness by visiting the elderly, blind, sick, and disabled. Together we learned helpfulness by taking time to help strangers in need. We, with friends, helped keep our neighborhood clean, picking up park litter. We sang nature’s symphonies…bathed in streams, washed hair in waterfalls. Talents were developed and we watched one another’s performances. Educations were earned and we praised one another’s accomplishments. Families and careers were begun and my life continues to be blessed. I have had many best days in my life with my children. And we have loved. Everyday with my children, even struggles, were “Best Days of My Life”. Now, they are grown, but we stay in touch, we love, we enjoy…and There are grandchildren. So there will still be many “Best Days in My Life”. And even though my children no longer live at home, I have been blessed. I have one more of the already many “Best Days” to share. A late in life… Best day is the meeting of and the marriage to my spiritual companion. Our soul(s) having been completed was the most recent “Best Day of My Life”. Together, we still live, seeking God’s word and living life caring and loving. All…together— These blessings that I have shared are the best life can offer. And these "Best Days" are the days I will remember for the rest of my life. And beyond— The family day! © Dane Ann Smith-Johnsen March 22, 2010 Poetic form: Narrative
