Thank you, dear friends, for your prayers and support over the past few years. Last month, January, we witnessed The Lord's restoration as our daughter, Carrie, married Paul in San Diego. I collected my favorite photos and assembled them in a slideshow. We haven't received the photographer's photos yet; those will come later! Enjoy!
Memorial Day is always noteworthy for me and my girls. Next Thursday marks the third year of missing their father, my husband. So many thoughts run through my mind. The journey of loss takes on various emotions. The strongest feeling, at first, was emptiness. In a split second, I would forget he departed forever. I imagined things I needed to talk to him about when he got back home. My mind is realistic now. He's not coming back. There will be no more times of sitting on the porch swing together on the front deck staring at the moon and the stars. He would tell me all he knew about the majestic night sky. I have so much I wish I could tell him, like the excitement of seeing our oldest grandchild make a decision to follow Jesus and get baptized on Mother's Day! And our little Amy, 11 years old, I wish he could have seen her on stage receiving her induction to the National Honor Society. Our daughters have their own ...
What a beautiful and sweet couple....I pray they have a long life together....
