| "I DO" on October 15, 2011 |
I can't help but think about how much my life has changed in the last year and a half. I married the love of my life, lost him, and gave birth to another. I don't know what it's like to lose a parent or a sibling and I hope I don't have to endure that kind of loss for many years, but I imagine that losing a spouse is one of the hardest experiences a person could ever suffer through. Marriage is a choice we make... a conscious decision to spend your life with another human being - you aren't born into their family, you choose to be a part of it.
What many of you don't know is that Steven and I had broken up for 7 months just prior to getting married, but I made a choice to go back to him. To spend my life with him. To start a family with him. We bought a house, made it a home, and said our vows. When I recited the words, "'til death us do part" I never could have imagined that it might only be 14 months until those vows were fulfilled. Obsolete.
But that was my choice. A choice that I would make a hundred times over if given the opportunity. A choice that has changed my life forever.

ReplyDeleteYou're strength is so inspiring.
ReplyDeleteWhen you two were split up, Steve talked to me a lot about stuff and it was crazy how much he loved you. I know you know it but he really did love you like crazy. He told me that so many times and im glad you two got back together.
ReplyDeleteYou are so inspiring. I love reading your blogs because they just show how strong you are. You might be the strongest woman I know and I look up to you for that. Thank you for sharing these memories and stories with us. God bless.
ReplyDeleteYou should write a book. You are so inspiring.
