Legacy of Love

My daughter is getting married.

My heart feels like it could it explode.

Mostly, I am happy!

I am happy because Lacey is happy!

Lacey is our first born child 

When she was little she was a certified Momma's girl!

We were joined at the hip!  She cried anytime I left her

or even walked out of the room!

As Lacey got older she ventured out more and realized her DAD

was her kindred spirit!  She is her dad through and through!

They both have very kind hearts and a great sense of humor.

They both see the good in people and trust unconditionally.

(They both love coffee more than anything or anyone...just kidding, sort of!)

So, why am I talking about all this sentimental stuff?

I guess because I was thinking about family 

and the legacy of love Lacey comes from. 

This was her "Papa" Nolan.  Lacey loved him more than ANYTHING!

This was "Grandma" Nolan.  

Her grandma was fiercely protective of her!

This was Lacey's Grandma and Grandpa Crow.

They loved Lacey, their first born grandchild.

Generations of marriage.

Generations of couples who fought through hardship

to raise children and love each other.

These people who are no longer with us but will be remembered forever!

They are the people who taught Lacey how to love,

unconditionally and without regret.

So, I am at peace!

Lacey KNOWS how to love and how to be loved in return!

She is ready to live

HAPPILY EVER AFTER.
