Isabella is Lazarus
I was married to the AIW on Saturday, January 31, 1987 at 7:39 pm (1939hrs)
Best gift from God I ever received, but first before my 2 daughters.
Can say the same for my parents who were great people IMHO.
So 5 great and unworthy gifts directly from God, just for me.
I'm am humbled, yet grateful beyond words.
edit: I hope this doesn't diminish anyone's feelings as I'm sensitive to the plight of marriage these days
but I hope the shock of "that other" thread is tempered by my glass half full, very very fortunate big picture in the scheme of things...I wouldn't change a thing (think of you Carver) and it's all good. When I get to that big library in the sky, I have a few questions and a few things to look up not quite knowing the truth behind it (gonna head to the historical section and find out what's the story on Nov 23, 1963 for instance). I'm where I suppossed to be and I coudn't be more looking forward to what tomorrow brings.
I don't deserve the good things in my life, but I'm grateful.
I've learned a few other insights in the journey and can define what I'm receiving on a daily basis from above:
lotsa Grace - goodness received without deserving it
and Mercy - not receiving what I do deserve
oh, BTW, ya'll did go bowling after ya wedding...didn't ya???
