Back to the land of the living

As I slowly crawl my way back to reality, it is hard to believe my daughter's wedding quickly came and went faster than the blink of an eye.  She is now a happily married woman on her honeymoon with the man of her dreams.  Love at its best.  She was the most beautiful bride I have ever seen (of course, I'm not prejudiced!) and helping her adorn her wedding gown and veil in the small room provided at the church was overwhelming.  I stepped back and for an instant I saw my little curly headed blonde looking to me for comfort from a bad dream.  Now, 25 years later, she looks at me searching for that same comfort.  The tears in my eyes and smile on my face assure her everything will be ok.  
I knew all along that my son-in-law was heaven sent.  He adores my daughter and I have never doubted that.  But to see his face when she appeared to walk down the aisle, sheer love and joy (and a huge grin) took over his whole being.  What more could a mother ask for?

Thank you, Lord, for allowing me the privilege of raising three daughters who love You and for the men You have sent to love them.

Blessings,
Bonnie S.
