God Bless Our Love - 25th Wedding Anniversary

Happy Mother's Day Mom!

Mom,

I hope that today brings you much happiness and joy. You brought six wonderful children into this world…whose children bring more children, and so and so on. Your unselfish love, dedication, and motherly gifts will impact generations to come, and for that, you should be oh so proud. Today we celebrate you and all that you have done for us, your children. Happy Mother’s Day Mom!
                        ~Love, Doug

May she who gave you birth be happy.
                                     ~Proverbs 23:25

She is clothed with strenght and dignity;
      She can laugh at the days to come.
She speaks with wisdom.
      And faithful instruction is on her tongue.
She watches over the affairs of her household
      And does not eat the bread of idleness.
Her children arise and call her blessed;
      Her husban also, and he praises her:
"Many women do noble things
      But you surpass them all."
                                     ~Proverbs 31: 25-29



Kisses in the Wind

To a friend who is considering adoption...

Kisses in the Wind

I hold you in my heart and touch you in my dreams. You are here each day with me, at least that's how it seems.

I know you wonder where we are... what's taking us so long.

But remember child, I love you so and God will keep you strong.

Now go outside and feel the breeze and let it touch your skin...

Because tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God hold you in His hand until I can be with you.

I promise you, my darling, I'm doing all that I can do.

Very soon, you'll have a family for real, not just pretend.

But for tonight, just as always, I blow you kisses in the wind.

May God wrap you in His arms and hold you very tight.

And let the angels bring the kisses that I send to you each night.
