171 Family and Friends

After the crazy night with the three ladies, morning finally came. We freshened up and headed downstairs, where there was a crowd of people waiting for me with gifts, balloons, and several other things while cheering for me. "Congratulations!!!, We miss you!!!, great job, good luck, and all kinds of love. Seeing this made me quite happy.

I noticed a little girl running up to me. I was surprised as it was Isabella. She had grown quite tall as she had almost reached my belly, but before that, she was at my knees. She had quite the growth spurt within a year. Isabella hugged me tight as I patted her head and hugged their back.

"Hi Daddy, we all missed you; you've been gone for so long that I had almost forgotten what you look like." This caused me to laugh as I said," it's only been a year, but I agree I miss all of you."
