*sigh* I missed this. I’m on the other side of the world and will return a few weeks before my daughter’s wedding. Her sister & mother in law to be are taking up the slack. But, she wouldn’t let MIL go dress shopping. Just her & sister, and tiny cell phone pictures sent to me after the fact.

I cried anyway.

You are so right! It doesn’t get any better, especially when God brought these 2 together and her fiance’ is a man of God. That is such a huge blessing, as I am sure you know. But it also doesn’t get easier! Be sure to have tissue with you – I’ve cried at all 3 of our girls’ weddings but not quite as much on the day of as I did in the days preceding the weddings. And now our son is getting married in March and I think the tears will flow for that too. He is 32 and they both adore each other – and God is with them too! Weddings – so much joy and so many tears!! I look forward to hearing about all the plans!

Praying her beautiful day is as beautiful as ours was. She was our cute little baby just a little bit ago wasn’t she? Sniff. Love you!

You are a FANTASTIC writer my dear. My eyes are overflowing and my daughter is just 4 years old. But I became you in your writing and my heart wrenched and then exploded with love…this feels like it is happening to me! You have a gift—both as a writer and a phenomenal mother, what a blessing you are to your family of children!

Ok, now I AM crying…I can’t even imagine that day to come! My oldest is only SIX!! yet, I know it will come before I can blink.

Also, I wanted you to know that I LOVE LOVE LOVE your blog (so do many of my friends!) you have SUCH wisdom and knowledge, but you NEVER EVER come off as a no it all. I know too many people who are wonderful examples of Christ is so many ways…and then its dampened by there superior, no it all attitude. I appreciate you!
