To fully appreciate the Beauty in Birmingham we went to the Birmingham Botanical Gardens. To see the trees reaching up to the sky, the flowers blooming to their fullest expanse, to see The blue sky smiled on us through the white puffy clouds.
Then we crossed the street to the Birmingham Zoo to see the elephants, zebras, giraffes, hippopotamus, emus,monkeys, fox and wolves.
Beauty abounds in this place. Rain fell on us like glitter in a parade. The sun peaked in and out of the clouds and teased us all day.
Then the time came to meet the man we came here to see. He is a tall, handsome 90-year old man named Bill. He welcomed us into his home with a warm hug and a big smile. Having lost his wife less than a year ago, I could tell that the house was still full of love and her charm. We sat on the sofa listening to his stories of his work, family, children, grandchildren and great- grandchildren.
Life is good, abundant, and for sharing with loved ones.
Aloha,
Denise
