Bennett and Mia were married today. It’s my parents’ sixty-first anniversary as well. The photographer took a nice picture of Mom with the couple today, with the cake topper from her wedding on the serving table.

My family has changed so much in the last few years. I am thankful that God is helping me handle all the change and how I’m feeling peaceful most of the time.

Just a few years ago all my children were single and at home with us. Ben had a job he’d held for years. Belinda didn’t have achalasia or EDS or MCAS…at least not that we knew of. Jerry was alive and he and Mom lived comfortably in Blanchard.

I’m thankful for the changes and the opportunity to learn and grow, and hopefully reflect Christ more every day. I am truly blessed.
