This Friday, November 28, Jan and I will celebrate our 54th Wedding Anniversary so I took the easy route and wrote a little reflection.

DESTINY

The saying goes that hindsight is 20/20. In other words, if I’d only known then what I know now, would I tell the eighteen-year-old child bride to run? 

And what if she’d listened?

Perhaps she would have married someone else—someone without the same rough edges—or fierce loyalty. 

Would she trade three handsome sons for what might have been?

Silly questions change nothing.

I’m thankful for my children and the man I married fifty-four years ago. His smile warms my heart more now than it did when I walked down the aisle to him. Two became one. My destiny.

  • Dear Rochelle,

    Neil beat me to highlighting the same part. How bored would you be if there were no rough edges, eh?

    Congratulations on this wonderful success story!

    Shalom and lotsa love and hugs and love,

    Dale
