Today is the day. My son is getting married. He’s my oldest, but still my baby. There are some things time never changes. In my mind I am still laboring through delivery; watching first steps; and sending him off to Kindergarten.
I’m so proud of him today. He and his bride make such a lovely couple. I can only hope their future is filled with peace, joy and abundant love.
I would say today that I am gaining a daughter, but Kristin has been a daughter to me for most of the time she’s been part of my son’s life – she even lived with me for awhile. She helped me re-decorate my house and gave me Christmas and gifts from her travels (one Christmas and Italy in particular come to mind.) She has been a light in my life, patient with my outbursts – yes I have them and so loving words cannot describe her.
Today our family grows by one, but the love within our family will abound by many degrees. We are so blessed. Thank you for sharing this day with me.
Tracy
