THESE kids – whom we've known since just after uteri- (and) we count as one of our own. Greg Lindsay, ever
the personable, handsome & charismatic soul, approached my husband & I
when he was only 5 years old: “Hello Mr. & Mrs. Aguilar, I’m Greg Lindsay,
William’s best friend”. I should point out that this was the first day of
kindergarten for both of the boys. It’s true, they've been best buds since that
day 20 plus years ago.
As I reflect on the years
gone by, I can’t help but be a bit nostalgic about what has transpired all
these years. They've gone through Kindergarten & worked their way through
Middle School, High School & College. Have they changed? Well, I wouldn't be truthful if I said no. Trends come & go, they find other friends they
may have more in common with, but when it comes down to it, lifelong friends
are, well, lifelong. Greg & William have this bond that will always be
there. The first day of kindergarten, all those years ago…..
Greg will be
married today to a beautiful girl named Michelle. I’m excited for their new
life together.
My son? My son has a
wonderful woman in his life as well. Rebekah has shown that when you
love the world, you
become a catalyst for change. She has so much love in her heart… I love that!!
Will they spend the rest
of their life together? I dunno…it’s not for me to decide…nor is it my decision
for my girls, Meghan & Ariana to spend their lives with their awesome guys
(Shaun & Jake, respectively). They all have found kind, decent partners. I
wish for all of my kids, wherever their individual roads take them, that they
are respectful, loved & happy. What more can we hope for our kids when
facing this world??
Greg & Michelle,
Enjoy your special day….
To my kids, Meg, Will,
Ree, Shaun, Rebekah & Jake…
Whatever your paths - -
may you seek fulfillment and happiness…..and always be in love!!!
