I love that you were intentional about what you were doing in those "last" memories. So smart! Not only will they be treasured memories for you, but for those whom you love as well! Your younger siblings, especially, will not forget the time you carved out to spend with them!

Especially, the part about the many times you have spent at the foot of your parents' bed, and how the two of you were able to do that together on that last night. It is so hard to leave the ones you love, but God has surely blessed you with a beautiful new life. Married life is so precious...this June, Lord willing, my sweet husband and I will celebrate our 30th wedding anniversary. It seems like just a few months ago that we stood where you and your husband now stand, as newlyweds, so hopeful and excited for the future. Through the years, God has been so good and so faithful. I know He has great things in store for you and your husband, too, and trust He will bless you with many happy years together! Congratulations! You seem like such a sweet person. :)Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01891257905649460436noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-640205432697388472.post-2067045783190365012018-03-28T15:33:53.326-04:002018-03-28T15:33:53.326-04:00This.
