"Our Blended Family"
A choice was made to marry
and as the two became one flesh,
We two families also began the
process of becoming one.
We learned the love that bonds
a family together...
inseperable... indestructible...
is not created magically,
But rather slowly, carefully
over time...
Out of the building blocks of
a thousand little choices.
Choices to discover each others'
unique ways and personalities
To work through our difficulties
and embrace, rather than
resist change,
Accepting who we are and who we
can never be.
Choices to forgive one another,
laugh together, celebrate together,
and cry together.
Through it all, the magic is
we have become all the more
treasured by each other because...
We chose to become a Family!

This was my first visit to your blog. I LOVED it. I'm going to send this address to my friend Joyce Peterson. She'll likely reply -- or make a comment. We love you -- and we're sooo proud of each one -- even Sandy. (I especially loved Jeanna's writing and Haley's, too.) xoxoxoxoxoxoxo Mimi
ReplyDeleteChange can come suddenly at times and leaving no understanding to anyone else but God and You. That's where I am right now and missing my family very much. You are such a beautiful family and I miss you all deeply. Right now, I will keep going on to your site to see you until someday I can see you all again face to face. Loving you deeply and forever...
ReplyDeleteYour, Brother and your Uncle,

CONGRATULATIONS!!!
ReplyDeleteI am so happy to be an uncle again! I know you both wanted another child and I am so happy that God answered your prayers. He has a way with surprises doesn't He? I still hold on to what I have always said.... "The best things that have ever happened in my life have been by divine ambush". God bless your household and God send His love to each one of you from my heart. I miss you and love you all so very much and look forward to seeing you again. If not here, in heaven for sure!
Your uncle, brother, and friend,
Joel Aaron
