Everyday.

I missed posting yesterday on Valentine's Day, as we were attending our Niece's wedding. What a wonderful way to spend a day associated with love. We spent the day surrounded by family, watching the next generation start on their lives together. I will admit that as i watched her mother get teary eyed as Ashley walked down the aisle, I turned and looked at my own two children sitting beside me. In that brief moment I saw Munch standing at the altar, waiting for his bride, and I saw my little Bug, walking down that long path in a gown full of white.
While I did not know the bride as she was growing up (my brother in law is her Step father), I do have almost 10 years with her as my Niece. Ten years ago she was Munch's age. Bikes and hanging out....summer vacations and school books. And now here she was...walking down the aisle to become someone's wife.

I glanced over at Keith who was busy video taping the ceremony and saw him all those years ago standing at the front of the Church, waiting for me so we could begin our lives together. What a road it has been. And i wouldn't trade it for all of the Valentine's in the world...

SO i give to you, albeit a day late, My Valentine's gift...the one i get every single day....
The love of my family.

Hope your day was filled with love and laughter....
