My Boys, My Life, A box of Chocolates.

I am sure most have seen the movie Tom Hanks in Bubba Gump...lately that saying keeps going over and over that he says Life is Like a Box of Chocolates...I think how true that is.  Valentine's Day I gave mom a new closet and a Box of Candy...we opened it and each one chose a piece trying to pick the best one with the best taste..mom chose the one Ihad planned to get and so it went.  When you open an assortment of a Box of Chocolates, you really never know what your going to get...really , like life..
When I was young, I married....then I had four boys..back then it was a wait and see whether you were having a boy or girl.  I was blessed with 4 boys...each as different as possible like the. Box of chocolates..each gave something different to our lIves...
#1 Son was Ken, sweet, loving,always a smile, protective, Blond, blue eyes..Loved Being around people.
#2 Son was Jeffrey, sweet, loving, caring...but different in that beloved  being alone..give him some trucks leave him to play, he was as happy as could be..Dark Hair, Brown eyes  
#3 Son was  Brent, sweet chubby cheeks little boy who always needed lots of attention...needed to have extra attention..and never new when he would get moody..Light Brown hair and green eyes..gave so much love.
#4 Son wasShawn, the Baby,  he was always happy, loving and caring.  His favorite thing was being and watching out for mom...he was happy, could sell anything (always thought he would be in Sales, wrong)...orn a month early and being the baby, he was called even today a Mommies Boy..he doesn't care as he knows he is...born Blond, blue eyes...and happy just being with family And mom..
theBox of chocolates for me turned out to be some great choices.
God granted me Four wonderful Fantastic Boys..they fulfilled my life completely. as they grew into their teen years oh problems happened but we always got through it.
My boys grew to be fantastic men loving their God first, loving their families and of course loving their mom..
