Each child will tell a story or recite a patriotic poem they know like the Pledge of Allegiance to the Flag of the ‘Nunited States of Merica.’ The daddies will do a fireworks show on the big swimming dock. We sing patriotic songs. The kids have learned to close their eyes tightly after a big fireworks burst so the memory imprints on the back of their eyelids. This is the blessing God gives parents so that we will continue to grow in love and hope for the next time we can see each other. Happy Fourth!” That says it all for one happy family doesn’t it? Enjoy your day. Blessings, RitaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
