A WOW moment and a memory!

As a child you remember certain things.  Like the time we drove across country to New Mexico .  I can remember sleeping in a tent on the side of the road.  I can remember seeing a deer up-close on the edge of a ravine.  And I can remember being big enough to borrow my father’s clothes.  Yes, that’s right!  There were times that I needed to dress up, and I did not have the right clothes.  So I borrowed my father dress pants, shirt and tie.  I even took his Sunday go to meeting shoes.  Guess what?  They fit!

  Well the tides have turned!  And my son is not happy!  Beth purchased some pants and shirts for me for my birthday and Valentines Day.  Now we had to wait until payday to get them out of law-a-way, buts that is OK!

  When the clothes came home, I knew she had good intentions, but they were big on me!  I suggested she take them back and get XL instead of 2XL.  Wow, they fit!  I can now wear clothes from the “REGULAR MENS DEPT”.  That is a major deal in my book.

  Now you may ask, “Why is RJ not happy?”  You see, I have lost enough weight, that I can now wear some of his clothes!  That’s right; the shirts he wears to school are XL.  He has even given me a pair of Titans lounge pants, simply because they fit me!  So, I can wear his clothes, and he got some really nice things last Christmas.  I’ve got my eye on his Titans jersey! 

  To give RJ credit though, he is shrinking out of his clothes also.  He had me put another hole in his belt just the other day.  His waist has gone from a high of 42 inches to 36 inches.  He’s doing well and I am proud!

  Now, if I see him wearing Beth’s clothes, it’s time for a talk!

  Have a great day!

Hi Scott, I have read about your grueling schedule and I just know that you, Beth and RJ will get through it.  The three of you are very special inspiring people and it will come back to you.  It has to.  It is the law of the land. I know exactly how you feel.  When my 21 year old petite daughter accused me of wearing her size 6 jeans, I about lost consciousness.   I never imagined that we would be in the elevator of a downtown Nashville high rise with her constantly saying the she knew I had on her jeans.   What a WOW moment and memory indeed. Can't wait to see you and Beth at the next function....  You will not believe this but I will have to tell you about my RIP affiliation!!!!!  Okay, so you will believe it but I am going to amuse you anyway...
