Adopt a Daughter
In 1961 I graduated from college
With a K-8 teaching credential
I had been student teaching at
A school near my university
And I was blessed to
Get a 1st grade teaching job there.
My room mother was Florence,
A dear lady with a darling daughter, Lorei.
Florence kept in touch
Through the years, even though
In 1962 I left that darling class
To marry my darling Bob
(It was a fairytale wedding)
And moved with him to Germany.
Lorei’s parents both died
While she was still quite young –
Not out of college yet,
So we connected again – delighted to do so –
And we became her Mom&DadBee.
Ah yes, daughters are indeed
Such a blessing
And we are blessed now
To have three!
Lorei (in CA)
Laina (in Maryland)
And our DeDeBee (in Switerland)
Are you blessed like me??
I hope so!
If not, look around – there’s a daughter who needs you out there!!
Count and share your blessings everyday!
BTW, I think I need to adopt Bob’s ski buddy as my #4 daughter
