Last night's West Side Nut Club Fall Festival Parade was interesting to say the least! Visit the chapter web page for the story.
The evening was interesting and noteworthy for other, more personal, reasons as well. Throughout the parade route, I saw familiar faces...former students, current students, old friends, familiar faces with no names attached...but the most profoundly moving were those of adoptive families that I have had the immense pleasure to help complete adoptions--most of them cross cultural. I saw happy kids from Russia, Vietnam, China, Guatemala and their families. I was surprised to see how much the children have grown--although as a relatively new (6 months) grandpa, I'm acutely aware of how fast tiny "buggers" become less tiny "buggers"!
As I reflect on the evening, I'm in awe of the people who have allowed their lives to touch and enrich mine! I'm a VERY LUCKY man, indeed!!!
Peace.
