Wedding Day, August 16, 2008

Today is a special day of remembrance for me. No, it is not 2008, it is 2012 and today would have been  our fourth wedding anniversary, had Blair lived.

Instead I am remembering this day by myself. I am not alone, though, for the One who brought us together is here with me. And I have my blessed memories to recall. Blair was my beloved Boaz and I'll tell you more about Boaz another time. Blair loved me in spite of my flaws--and treated me with courtesy, respect, and love. He was a gentleman who did things for me just because he loved me and wanted to please me. He was a dreamboat of a man and I was so blessed to meet him, fall in love with him, and marry him.

Some people have asked me, "Would you have married him, had you known he'd be gone in such a short time?"

I say, I'd marry him again in a hot minute! We had a seventeen month honeymoon. How many people can say that? Not many, I'd venture to say.

I have wonderful memories and I know I will see Blair again in eternity. But here, on Earth, I have more family to love. I have two more sons--and a new granddaughter, Meghan Elena.

Happy anniversary my love. I am grateful to God for His gift to me of you-- if only for a time......
I hope the joy is as evident as we felt!
Delight in our first kiss as Mr. and Mrs. Graybill
