We went to Florida!!

My dad and stepmom told Keilee that they were going to take us to Florida for her graduation but they wanted to wait till school started back.

She has said her entire life that her dream is to live on the beach. But she’s never been to Florida. When she was 3 I took her to Gulf Shores but she has no memory of it. I spent every summer of my life until about 16 at the beach. It’s where we always went on family vacations. But I could never afford to take her. And I’ve had some Mom guilt over the years that I could never afford to take her.

As I watched her in the ocean  I shed a tear at the look of pure happy on her face. 

And I sent up a “thank you” prayer to Jesus for all his beauty.

And I have no doubt we will be back.
