I came across this photo of my daddy today.
It's at an outdoor Easter Sunrise Service.
I miss him.
I was always so proud of him.
I am blessed that I got to be his daughter.
And I loved remembering that today!

27 Years Ago
January 1, 1994 was a happy and memorable day.
It was the day I married my Rob.
There were 6,471 days
between the day I married my Rob
and
the day he died.
between the day I married my Rob
and
the day he died.
On that first day
-January 1, 1994-
I had no idea
it would end so soon
and it's such a happy day to remember.
I saw this Charles Dickens quote on Facebook the other day
and thought right then how appropriate the quote would be to
post on this anniversary of our wedding.
Today is the 10th time
I have crossed
this "first link" anniversary

January 1st of any year
will always be
a wonderful day to remember
and to be grateful

I will always be thankful.

Mary Did You Know
Luke singing
"Mary Did You Know"
We met our church videographer
at our church this past week
so Luke could record a song
to be played for the Sunday morning service.
Luke chose "Mary Did You Know."
And he wore his daddy's Nativity tie.
He did such a great job!
As usual, I am proud of my boy!
I videoed it as well and that is what's posted here.
My version isn't as good as the professional one
but it's what I have available so I hope you enjoy it!

Happy Birthday to my Luke!

Always have.
Always will.

Mama

Mama is 77!
My mama is 77 today!
My children, my sister, my brother-in-law, and I
visited her at her nursing home window on Saturday
and took her the ice cream cake she has been wanting.
She loved it!
Today, I was able to have a short outdoor,
socially distanced visit with her.
I took her a chocolate cake and flowers.
It was COLD outside so we weren't out there long.
She went inside and I stayed at her window for 2 more hours.
And it got colder.
But I had a couple of coats so I stayed.
After all, a person only turns 77 once!
Happy Birthday, Mama!
(photos from both visits
and some from the inside that staff took and sent to me)
