Our son Max got married to his Sarah this past Saturday. The weather was absolutely beautiful, in the high 70's, and the colors of the trees were just about at peak.
I show Max here with his son, our wonderful grandson, Nolan who was the honorary best man, standing next to him is Josh, one of Max's best friends since high school. They are at the rehearsal at the church.
Max had four friends and his brother Caleb stand up for him in the wedding. Our daughter Sloan was one of the bridesmaids. The closest I came to crying during the ceremony was when all three of them were standing up in front of the church waiting for the bride. I am so proud of all of them. They are all grown up and are wonderful people in their own right. I think Tom and I had a lot to do with that, but I just find myself grateful that it worked out that way.
Leading up to the wedding I found myself often feeling sad as I thought about my Mom and the fact that she wouldn't get to see this wedding. We talked of it often in the early months of the year, and I was hoping it would give her something to look forward to as she faced her fight with cancer. Unfortunately it wasn't to be, but I wore one of her necklaces to the wedding and I know she was there in spirit too, wishing her grandson happiness as he heads into this new phase of his life.
