I will share many more of these memories with you for the rest of our lives, but the most important one that is enjoy is the “moment of truth”. Standing in front of our guests with the air drained from my lungs in what felt like the longest moment of my life. Watching the door in anticipation as the music played on. The world fading around me and leaving me with only the vision of the open doorway. For a moment the whole room went silent. The music had frozen, the room no longer cared about it’s need to survive off of the air around it, and every living thing had become suspended in time. In that one brief moment of stasis you became the only free moving object. To use words to describe the way you looked at that moment would be to insult the very splendor of your brilliance. Every step closer to me you came was like watching you step through the months that had brought us to that very moment and as you finally came to face me and the history and the present began to become our future you finally looked into my eyes and time resumed it’s normal pace.

I will never, ever forget that day. Ever.

My comments on the wedding…
I always knew you had wonderful friends and I’ve always liked them.
But seeing all they did and distances they traveled, helping wherever and whenever they could, made me love them even more and so thankful you have them in your life.
You are truly blessed.
No matter how old I get and my memory fades, I’ll always remember your wedding and the love Dad and I felt seeing our little girl.

I can’t wait to see that picture of us all on the slide with you being upside down. Hopefully it came out okay. I am also glad that the Magic Water Beads have caused so much joy to so many people. I am thinking about buying more of them, but I don’t know what I’d do with them…other than play with them. That might be a good enough reason…
