Life may not be the party we hoped for,
but while we are here, we should dance!

Dave and I celebrated our 30th anniversary on April 18.
Sarah celebrated her 24th birthday on May 11.
On Saturday, May 22, Sarah will marry Kyle. He is a wonderful man and his family is generous and kind. We are incredibly happy for her and him.
And, I have to think of the special gift that Sarah is. She was born on May 11, 24 years ago, to a single young woman, who was in a semi-serious relationship with a young man. They weren't terribly young (she was 23 and he 27). Together they decided that they were not ready to be together much less to raise a child. In that decision, they gave us the gift of Sarah. She joined us on July 17, 1986.
This Saturday, we send her off to a new junction in her life. To the parents who let her go 24 years ago, thank you.
We will dance at her wedding and during the ceremony offer up a prayer thanking you for the gift.

You have a lot to be thankful for. Congratulations to everyone on Anniversaries and Weddings. Happy Birthday to your daughter as well.
Happy days for everyone - birthdays - anniversaries - and wedding. Be happy - be sad - above all - enjoy the day!
That is one of my favorite quotes.
I'll be thinking of you on Saturday. Have a wonderful wedding!
