#184 – JOY OF MY LIFE – 12/12/2019
The 12th of December is always an emotional day
for me. My Dad passed away on a Monday morning in 1977. 15 years later on a
snowy Saturday afternoon in Lakewood ,
CO
I was a petrified, incoherent mess on the day of the
ceremony. The entire guest list was comprised of: our friends (Linda Boyd &
Dan Hunter) who stood up for us as our witnesses, the Justice of the Peace and
our cat, Butterscotch. That’s about all my nerves could take. I was sweating
like a sponge. I was shaking with nerves. But I made it through the ceremony. Our
journey as a family started on that day. We have been blessed with too many
memories to list. Suffice it to say, those memories are worth more to me than
all the treasure in the world, Or as John so eloquently puts it:
“Some may have their riches / some may have their worldly
fame.
Long as I have you I treasure each and every day
Just take me by the hand – I am the luckiest maa alive.
Did I tell you baby, you are the Joy of My Life.”
Thanks for agreeing to let me walk beside you on this
journey, sweetie. The adventure never ends……so lets get onto the next chapter.
I love you, Jennifer.
