Happy Again

Life is funny.  I can honestly say one thing I never thought I'd do - is attend my own mother's wedding.  That is exactly what I did yesterday.  Daddy has been gone for over 2 years and God brought LaVaughn  into Mom's life soon after.  (LaVaughn's wife passed just a few days after my Dad, by the way.)

                                           "Here comes the bride!"  (with my brother, Kevin)

I have to mention the church was packed - folks standing in the back!  Over 200 people came to see this couple unite in marriage.  Our two families had not met and we had a great time getting to know each other...so much in common, especially in the Lord.

I have watched my mother bloom in this new relationship and it's been a joy to watch.  My brother's grandson gave her this touching poem he wrote about watching the love between his grandmother and LaVaughn (we call him L.V.)...

I cried when I watched her come down the aisle.  Later several said, "It'll be okay..."  misunderstanding my tears.  I was SO happy for her.  Mom and Dad did not have a "wedding" - this was a big deal for her and she was so excited.  At 79 years of age, she had her special "princess" day!

Afterwards of course - we had two-steppin' and partied the afternoon away...

                                                                      Kealee and L.V.

So, congratulations to my Mom...a beautiful, brave woman who is not afraid to live life to the fullest.

                                                    Mr. and Mrs. Moody - Happy Again!
