This is a more recent photo of my son Chad and his wife Kristine. They have been happily married for 24 years.
As some of you already know, Chad has a business doing plumbing and heating, which keeps him very busy. And Kristine is a school teacher, who loves the children she works with, very much.
We will be driving down to Greenville, Michigan sometime in May, once spring settles in.
It's a 2 1/2-3 hour enjoyable drive, past fields and lovely farmland. We pass through about ten small towns, heading towards their hometown.
This more recent photo was take by one of their friends

When Chad was a teenager, he was very kind, but quite mischievous. He had about six close friends, they did stupid things together! lol Then, he grew up and yes, I'm very proud of him and his wife, also:)

As a teenager, he was a handful! Then he met Kristine and turned for the better:)

@kobesbuddy That makes for great marriages. I married my best friend. We are still together 32 years later.

Chad and Kristine are best of friends, something that I'm so grateful for. There's no place for fighting and animosity, in a good relationship.

@kobesbuddy Oh, I am so sorry, I did not know that or I would not have brought up the subject.
Please accept my condolences. I know how you love your granddoggies.
You know what I am enjoying right now?
You posted this lovely topic about a mother's love and bond with her son, and Jeff posted a topic of a Daddy and daughter bond.
Life is full of rich blessings, family is the root of the best of them.

They were on vacation in West Virginia, in this picture. Chad is always busy, with fixing furnaces(winter months) or air conditioners(during the summer).

What a lovely and special sweet picture, Kharla. I know how you feel about being proud of your children, I am so proud of mine, as well. I’m sure they are also proud to call you Mom!
