Joy and Sorrow

I have been having a bit of trouble doing journal entries… but hopefully this will work! There has been so much going on in my life that I seldom have time to put my fingers on the keyboard and type a few stray thoughts. I love and miss you all! But at the moment the joy outweighs the hurt. There is a very special person out there that I miss a lot. He is so dear to us and always in our thoughts and prayers. His smile and deep dark eyes are missed as is his presence. Hopefully we will be able to have contact with him again soon until we can I will continue to pray for him and his whole family. Should any of you have a prayer circle please include Joe on your list of names!
As to the happy… the Joy *soft smile * that comes from My Love… who proposed to me on Christmas Day. I often wondered if there were a man out there who shared both my passion and my commitment, who had the heart of a child and dared…. Well there was, and he didn’t give up on me. Even though for two years I said no to every invitation * smile * The shy man who never asked anyone out… persisted. I am So Very Glad He Did. He didn’t give up on me!
One day he walked into the small store where I worked… I had just returned to work after being out with a broken sternum, and he said “Hi, how you doing” Funny thing happened then… my heart all of a sudden did a flip… it seemed like he was surrounded by light… I smiled and said “Better Now~!” And I was… the hurt had gone away, it was as if the sun had come out from behind a cloud, to shine on me. Our first date was karaoke * Grin*. He wouldn’t sing… took forever before he would. The first song he sang was “Stairway to Heaven” He sang it beautifully and my daughter who had been picking on him… shouted out from upstairs that it was GREAT!
So very much has happened that it would take forever to write it all, I will try in bits and pieces.
The wedding is set for June 28, 2008 *big happy smile * A big wedding and I already have the gown almost paid for. A dream… a dream coming true~!

I am currently Happy
I am listening to My Daugher tell me about a book
