"Most Successful Surprise of 2021!" .. the envelope please....
one of the extra special blessings of living in san jose now, is our proximity to the san jose airport. essentially, if anyone is coming from or going to, it is an open invitation to stop by our place for a visit, a meal, a drink before you go.. or to welcome you back
and we seem to get some extra visits in as a result.. all blessing!
and so,
my daughter, she called earlier in the day "dropping my friend off at the airport, will you be home for me to stop by after?"
and, that's a big fat YES... and, the timing meant we could also include dinner..
"sexy.. taryn will be here between 4 and 4:30..."
and, we excitedly made plans for pot roast, rice, gravy..
and, we were in the front yard.. re-doing our halloween yard art, because 50mph winds, [and a local fire] had destroyed and scattered the roof tiles of our haunted mansion /roof tiles = door mats from the dollar store..
anyway.. and little touch up gardening... pruning... watering..
and, before we knew it, taryn's car pulled up
-and, our family.. we are huggers.. and so, greeted taryn with big hugs, and were excited to hear all about her recent trip to austin for the music festival
"i want you to see something i picked out for my room" taryn said, and started walking me toward her car, toward her trunk
"... some decor... artisan made? you find something you liked in austin?" and my mind, literally, started seeing her at an art faire.. lighting up at a booth for a piece of art that matches her room..
and so she opened her trunk, and
and instead of seeing a piece of art, or home decor... my son!?!?
yes! jack-in-the-trunk.
talk about a full, 100%, genuine, had absolutely no idea whatsoever...
and, my immediate reaction was WTF... but, my mind was racing.. i said, "OOOHHHHH!
Holy F...... Holy
fffff....
fa...
HOLY FAITH! HOLY FAITH... ! Oh my goodness saKES aLIve!..." and worked at processing and catching my breath.. re-regulating my heart beat.
/tech difficulties, but video from jack's perspective here. [ ]
****
and, we give imaginary points in our family... comedy points, boyfriend points, girlfriend points, mom points, children points, gift giving, card-picking-out points, ... etc., ~ a way of saying 'great job!'
and, in this case..
i'm giving taryn and jack, 100 thousand utter successful surprise points!
/gonna be hard to top that.. but ~tops will.
"Thank You! Jesus!" -awesome surprise, visit... hallelujah & amen.
