My life is blessed with a wonderful husband of 47 years, Darrell Lee Selke. Together we have had quite an adventure. A wedding in 1970, four kids; turning into a Gibbie and a Poppie with 13 grankids ...and staying joyful as we truly give God glory for such abundant blessings all along the way. We've had our challenges as all families do, but life is good because God is good. I love being a wife, mother, grandmother, daughter, sister, aunt, and friend. We're excited about the future and looking forward to the next adventure God has for us,just around the corner I'm sure.

Precious Baby Mine...

I wrote this after reading "35 Months" that my oldest daughter wrote about her nearly three year old. I was once more amazed at how close to my heart her words came. 35 months or 36 years.... Wasn't it only yesterday? I know how she feels even now.
Precious baby mine
Rushes by with smiles, giggles, and little steps in time.
Words then phrases, baby conversations
Grasping, cherishing every moment;
Like catching water in my hand.
So pleasant are these little ones nestled oh so close;
Then growing , changing,
Running through the neighborhood,
Then running out the door
Never to nestle close to me once more.
Precious baby mine.

That is too sweet! You should add that to your collection of your writings for your kids.

That's so sweet and so horrible all at the same time. I can't stand to think of Asher not being "MINE" anymore! I know I'll make it though.
