Yesterday was a good day. Why? Because my husband made a good decision that warmed my heart and reminded me of his kinder side.
Yesterday was the Preakness. My husband loves horse racing as he used to work at the track with the horses. This year he is hopeful that there will be a Triple Crown winner and wanted very much to watch the race.
Our grandson was turning 8 yesterday and it was all happening at the same time. Most years he misses the party to watch the race.
Yesterday morning he asked me what I was doing and I said I was going to a birthday party to make some memories with the child. He responded “Are you sure?”
“Absolutely!” and then I went to work.
I was surprised when I was finished he was all dressed and still here. He said “Can I come make memories with you?”
My heart was warmed and off we went.
That is truly wonderful that he decided to come along with you. Men can be pretty selfish sometimes.
I’ve never hear of the Preakness. Is that one of the American “Classic” horse races?
It is the second race that makes up the Triple Crown. They are 3 year olds. The fillies have their own version.
