Dad sat to the side on Saturday, watching his eldest take a selfie with her soon-to-husband, her two sibs, his two sibs, and their best college friends. He mused, “Cute picture, I bet,” but thought little more.
When I look at this picture on Monday, however, Dad’s in tears.
In a world that too often makes no sense, hallelujah that there are still the outrageously hopeful smiles of the young. Life will go forward, with all its stubborn joy. Thank you so much, Abby and Jacob. Thank you so much, Bekah and Joey. Thank you so much, Lavonne and Anna. Thank you so much, Becky, Cara, Cristian, Stephen, Stefan, and Alex.
You give an old man the strength to face another day.
To life!
Amen, to life.

This made me cry- a good kind of cry. What a lovely post! Congratulations! 🙂
