Christmases of a child to the Married Woman

As we my wife, daughter and son in law attended Midnight Mass I could not help to go back in time to see the little girl that was God's gift to us. The child whose life was my responsibility to nurture and love and protect, I was shown as I glanced to the married woman whose head leaned on her husband that I have been replaced as the primary man in my daughters life.

Though this realization has been hard for me, I know that the foundation that we as parents have instilled into our daughter will guide her and her husband through what ever life has in store for them. Anxieties of the future will become pleasant memories of the the past as my wife and I have come to fruition.

Merry Christmas My Daughter and My Son in law

To My Wife for Christmas 2009

Thirty years have past since our first Christmas together as man and wife.

Some of the dreams and expectations that once were to be our future have come and are now pleasant memories of what was.

Those anxieties of the unknown future are now bringing the wisdom and understanding to deal with what lies ahead in our remaining years.

We have and will continue to have Christmases that will provide insight as to why we were joined together to fulfill the destiny that God designed for us.

So to God I say thank you for giving me these thirty years with the woman of my dreams and the life that dreams are made of .

Merry Christmas Sweetheart, with all my love
