For better for worse...


The Saturday after my really cool brain surgery was our 28th wedding anniversary. I'm sure my DH didn't expect to have to spend so much time caring for me in sickness, in the last 28 years, but he has been incredible and faithful and amazing: a special gift to me. and we all know where good gifts come from. DH has seen me previously through pleurisy, pneumonia, an awful flu that attacked my heart,  a very dicey last pregnancy, and a couple of miscarriages. DH you are a Hero. Superman, don't waste your time, the true hero is already here. When you say those vows as a naive young couple, no-one really warns you that , richer and poorer, better and worse, all actually can roll in at the same time. They are not necessarily going to be discrete occurrences, and you will have to cope with them all at once. Praise God for togetherness, family and friends.
How beautiful it has been for me to see my PS's increase in their love and respect for heir father, and for each other, and follow his example.
I don't remember much about Saturday 18th June 2011, but I know DH visited, and I was very happy to see him. 18 June 1983 was one of the happiest days of my life, and he still brings a big smile to my heart and my face.

Sara Groves, once again:

" better than our promises
is the day we got to keep them
I wish those two could see us now
they never would believe how
there are different kinds of happy"
