To have that evening turn out as it did, for you to embrace it just as it was, without putting expectations on it, is just amazing to me - especially since you were so young. And you were able to let whatever worries your parents were having be theirs, not yours. Love it.Monicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10652505823996678072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33237885.post-56130427184700397802007-03-27T12:57:00.000-07:002007-03-27T12:57:00.000-07:00What a treat.

Your innocence and David's sweetness together turning what could have been disaster into a thing of magic and beauty. How brave you were to choose love and reject your parents' fear. I see that decision playing out in your life still. You love so well.<BR/><BR/>You also tell such a powerful story. I am so anxious to see where you take us next. <BR/><BR/>Love, hugs and many blessings.Deb Shuckahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03439395710731341021noreply@blogger.com
