Vee’s Inspiration August 18, 2023
Sometimes when you are part of an event that event becomes a part of your story, and you don't realize it. We can get so caught up with history, which is somebody else’s story, that we forget about our story. Last night's “My Story” was amazing. For the first time, my sister Nicole, my niece Kaela, my aunt Paula, my uncle Jake, my dad Vecus Sr. and my dad’s wife Barbara, my wife Anissia, and me Vecus Jr. sat at our table and had dinner and conversation. It was a magical time. At some point, we realized we had never been together like this. Sure, my Dad and Barbara have come and stayed with us, Nicole and Kaela have come and stayed with us, and Uncle Jake and Aunt Paula have come and stayed with us, but they all have never stayed with us together at one time. Last night was a blessing.
A moment of retrospect...
Sometimes things happen for reasons before we can understand.
We’ve been in our current home for 2 years today. We were in our previous home for 17 years. We found this house and decided to move into a bigger space, honestly, it was my wife’s idea at first. I did not want to move. Why move when we had just completely remodeled the entire kitchen, living room, and dining room at our previous home? She would say, The grandkids can come and enjoy the pool, we will have more space, etc., etc. I did not see her vision. I just saw this as being a bigger more expensive house.
Fast forward two years… I finally saw her vision and finally understood. We have had wonderful gatherings with friends and family that have created “our story.” From having Super Bowl parties to jazz concerts, to fight parties, to birthday parties, to daytime pool parties, to nighttime pool parties, to FitCamps, to training sessions, to teaching the grandboys how to swim, to late-night conversations at Millers Tavern, to cool afternoons at The Resort at Millers Tavern, to special dinners, like last night. All the wonderful life events over the past two years were the building blocks of her vision she. What a blessing! I’m so thankful.
Take time to learn history, but also make time to create your story.
Have a great Friday!
Stay safe!
