Hello! Today is:

SEE WHAT'S NEW!






can describe the feelings of the mother-of-the-bride a week after the wedding. I tend toward melancholy in the aftermath of all special occasions - the anti-climatic affect - and the wedding of our oldest daughter was certainly the most special occasion in our family life since the birth of all our children. It's not a sadness but a natural tendency to cling to the intensity of each and every moment of beauty and love that it brought to us.

All the beloved family and friends have returned to their busy lives and all the trappings of a cherished wedding have been tucked away for now. Time keeps moving ahead, as it always does, and life keeps ushering in that which is next.

I wish I could gather all those people who celebrated with us in my arms and hug them and tell them how much it meant to me that they were here to be witness to those moments in time. I wish I could make time stop for just a brief period so that I could cherish every single moment so much more than possible.

I am so thankful that I can feel that I have not lost a daughter but have gained a son and a really awesome extended family through him.

I thank God for each and every moment, every smile, every tear, every hug, every laugh, every memory that I will forever treasure in my heart. We are truly blessed!!
