As I approach 62 years of age I am SO grateful to have NO body aches. However, as a mother it pains me to know of my children's body aches and pains. Adam struggles with symptoms of living his whole life with very flat feet. His feet really hurt everyday and one foot is filled with pins and screws! And his shoulder still hurts from his fall off the stage which resulted in surgery on foot and shoulder. Mindy has had repeated back injuries since high school, the last putting her flat in bed for a week. Michael has back issues that are compromised with his profession as a dentist. Ryan is in the best shape of the four, though he does come home from his endodonics practice with a sore back and often a headache. And then there's Bill who has back and neck issues....and whatever it is that makes it hard to get out of our sofa!
So, one of my many blessings is good health and a body that works, and another is having children who hang in there and keep on going! I am also very grateful for their spouses who help and support them so much through the tough times. Here's to good health!
