Be glad of life because it gives you the chance to love and to work and to play and to look up at the stars.

Henry Van Dyke

Today I could say that I will be sharing with you a tale of love.  Of the miracle that is two people finding each other on this big ol’ planet, and the realization that their lives would now be forever intertwined.  How everything came to this moment of the most solemn of vows.  A small and beautiful affair, nestled in the stillness of the Wisconsin countryside, where the pine trees reach for the Heavens and the wind dances across the awaiting fields.

And it would all be true.

But it is so

much

more.

It is a story of life.

A lifetime of unyielding love parents have for their children, and for their children’s children.  The tender moment of a grown daughter readying her mother for her own wedding, sharing a bond that only comes from decades of conversation .  A quiet pause of a pair of smiles in the background, reveling in the happiness and joy being celebrated before them now.  The joining of two families; sisters, brothers, cousins.  All one, from this day forward.

For two people who have long rejoiced in the love their children have found through the years have now found their own.

Time has told us that this is what love is.  It is shared.  It is all around us, bouncing off the walls and reflecting off each other.  Hope.  Happiness.  Faith.

Love is life, looking up.
