Day 189

Sunday - This has been a wonderful, wonderful day. I got to spend it with my best friend and make lots of memories. We attended church this morning and he was welcomed with hugs and good wishes. How nice! During church we watched both Jaide & Jared get baptized - and then Pastor Joy invited Wade and others to come for prayer and special blessings. It was emotional but also a very precious time. 
After church we came home and Wade changed into his "football watchin' outfit" (see picture). And of course, the hat completes the whole look. 

Between the two football games, the Enon Pee-Wee Football League held a special ceremony in honor of the anniversary of 9/11. Everyone was given a balloon with the name of one of the lost in the 9/11 tragedy written on a card and attached with instructions  to log onto the internet. Whomever finds the balloon can provide information so the balloons can be tracked. Football players, cheerleaders, parents, etc - we all held balloons and listened to music and some speeches about the importance of that day. 

Then we released the balloons. That was a beautiful sight too. And we watched them float off towards the east. I was wondering if we might see one near our house when we got home, but we didn't. 

After the game we all met up and had a casual dinner of sand-wiches, chips, salads, and chocolate meringue pie. 
Now my buddy and I are relaxing in the living room. SOME of us are relaxing a little bit more than others of us, but that's okay. I'm glad to have him in the same room with me where I can just turn my head and see him and smile.
