What am I Doing Here?

July is Full of Meaning

Day 3883 June 30

This year, July is different from any other year.
Our family, especially my brother are expecting a new addition to the members. We already know that the baby will be a girl. Her name should be Lily, which is a nod to her great grandfather who was a master gardener from England. He was one of the best when he came to America.
We have sent a gift of one of the best car seats for infants so she will be safe and travel in style. Both sides of her family tree are so excited that she will be able to have many things that will make her smile and coo when she sees them. This is little lady has a mother who has gone to school for a great education. Her father is intelligent as well.

But I want to add that I love our country and look forward to the Fourth of July. I enjoy the family gatherings. Since many members of my family served in the military, this is a chance to appreciate all of the time they served and the sacrifices they made. I am not into firecrackers but know that children love the noise and displays.

But lastly, I know that we all must be vigilant to problems and those who try to help us stay free and independent. (cue the national anthem). Many of my classmates are gone through their loss of life in wars or diseases. I miss them. And I hope that the next generation and the generation after that, will have it better.

As the song states, “God bless America.”
