If this had never happened-so many lives would of been impacted. The family that followed us to Northern Virginia, would never of come. Husbands never met-children never born. Friends never met-health never achieved-A completely different history written.
IT ALL STARTED HERE-31 1/2 YEARS AGO- A PICTURE THAT CHANGED LIVES
Those were exciting times. A new adventure awaited-old ties were cut-how would we pull this off? We had no money-we had little support-we struggled to make ends meet. But we had each other. It was a different world then. Ideals were different-we made new friends as the old ones slowly slipped away. But we had some who stood with us-and are there today. They supported us and that friendship blossomed. And it has continued to this day.
YOU HAVE BEEN THERE FOR US FOR OVER 30 PLUS YEARS-THANK YOU!
YOU CAN COUNT YOUR CLOSEST FRIENDS ON ONE HAND-HOW TRUE THIS IS!
YOU CAN LEAN ON THEM AND THEY WILL HOLD YOU UP IN TIME OF NEED!
YOU SHARE LIFE'S DREAMS-YOU SHARE LIVES ADVENTURES
YOU CROSS FUN WITH YOUR LIVES & YOU LIVE LIFE TO ITS FULLEST!
YOU COME TOGETHER EVERY 4 MONTHS FOR FUN TIMES & YOU HAVE BEEN DOING THIS SINCE EVERYONE MOVED AWAY-FRIENDS BONDING & HAVING FUN-NO MATER WERE WE LIVE-IT REMAINS THE SAME . ON ONE HAND-YOU CAN COUNT THEM-A BLESSING IN LIFE.
Without our union almost 30 some years ago-this would not of happened-so many lives affected by our marriage-so many people meet-so many children born-life is a road that is taken so many years ago that changes history- a history we will never know- but one that was written by the Lord above-a blessing that came and we are so fortunate that we are were we are.
A family together-a family united-a family that we are somewhat responsible for in that relationships would of been different had we not made it!
OUR THREE OLDEST GRANDDAUGHTER'S-ALL DIFFERENT-ALL THE SAME-ALL A BLESSING!
