In Troy, Illinois, I sat blowing out my 2-Year Birthday candles. I was surrounded by my family. This was a great day... for more than one reason.
Not only was I being showered with blessings and love by those closest to me; but unknown to me, about 150 miles away in Quincy, IL, a little girl was being born. Her parents named her Megan.
While my family celebrated 2 years of life, her parents celebrated new life.
Meg and I wouldn't meet for another 18 years. We grew up 45 miles apart, her in Jerseyville and me in Collinsville, yet we would meet in Webster Groves, Missouri.
Last month, on August 23rd, we celebrated 7 years of marriage and 11 years of togetherness. We have been blessed by the Lord to have such an amazing life.
Though we started 150 miles and 2 years apart, the Lord brought us together in a miraculous way. I thank God for my wife, my best friend, my lover and the mother of my child.
We have now journeyed from Webster Groves back to Collinsville, from Collinsville to Burbank, from Burbank to North Hollywood, and from North Hollywood to Valley Village. Every step with you is a gift, every journey and adventure. Meg, I love you.

ReplyDeleteBeautifully said. I think you two are wonderful people.
ReplyDeleteYou two are precious! That is a beautiful tribute, Dal...a little late if it was intended as an anniversary thing and a little early if it was for your birthdays...but beautiful, nonetheless! :)
