I cherish their innocence, and their faces shine.
Kadence, my eldest, was a beauty I’ll say,
And now she’s with Jesus where I’ll meet her one day.
She taught me a lot about patience and peace,
And helped my faith and love to increase.
Knox, my boy, my only son,
Is a blast and a bomb; a torpedo of fun.
He’s scared of TV, but plays monsters with me,
And his laugh is so cute when he’s cram packed with glee.
Declan is five and is always alive
With laugher or tantrums her emotions thrive.
She’s brave and she’s bright and quick with a hug,
And brushes off troubles with a smile and shrug.
Oakley is cute and cuddly, and sweet,
With a laugh you know no one can beat.
Such a sweet baby, a bundle of love,
She fits in my heart like a hand in a glove.
My kids can make my heart and soul soar,
But after Tuesday I’ll be having no more.
After four kids my wife and I finally called it quits. After Oakley was born we hummed and hawed for a while on whether or not we should have one more so we didn't have a middle child. We decided we were done. (Feel free to leave a comment on what you think about having three kids or if you think you should have another to avoid the middle child syndrome. (For us it's too late, but you might help someone else out.))
I went in Tuesday for the operation at the hospital in Grande Prairie. After waiting for forty minutes past the appointment time the operation took all of 15 minutes. For all those of you feeling upset by my last post you can rest a bit easier knowing that for the two days after I was in a bit of pain. Things are going better now, just a bit of discomfort from time to time and stitches I have to remember are there. I was told it will take a week or so before things are back to normal.
So while I love my kids, and wouldn't do anything different, these are all there will be--barring any accidents in the next 2-3 months.

Well... when you put it so nicely in poetry it makes me think that we should MAYBE have an accident on purpose. HA... on second thought maybe not. ;D It was a very nice poem though and I am sure that your readers will be happy to know that you have been in a little discomfort these last couple of days. ;)JK. I love you!!!!
Ha! You just THINK this is a sweet, innocent post that won't cause any controversy. There are plenty of people out there who believe that only God should decide how many kids you should have and when. But I'm not going to do anything to get that started.

LOL. I considered that as well, and I decided not to get anything started. You may have. LOL. Thanx for the comment.
I wouldn't be upset if you & Jen were to have an accidet. I love being a grandma.
Love Nana K.
Great heartwarming post, Jon.
