Deja Vu
My 15-year-old daughter and I are in Chicago for a few days. While here, I met the offspring of some lifelong friends. Their children are grown now and between the ages of 18 and 29. The moment I shook their hands, the great love that I have for their parents spilled over onto them. Immediately. It was the most amazing thing.
I could have picked every single one of them out of a line up, so incredible was the resemblence to their parents. Talk about deja vu! And this age is such a great age. Some in college, some just out, one engaged to be married.
There were ten of us all together. Five siblings. One cousin. Two friends. My daughter. And me. My daughter knows them from attending the annual church retreats of my parents. Though my daughter and I are having a big time going to museums, seeing shows and walking the Magnificent Mile, without question, the highlight so far has been getting to know these young and charming loved ones.
Great is the Lord.
