God has vested in all of us--including the misfits--a need to mark the significant events in our lives. Whether to celebrate or grieve, we find every occasion to memorialize. Birthdays, funerals, weddings, anniversaries, holidays, photographs . . . blogs--all efforts to preserve the past so we have something to cling to for the future, for all we have is here and now.
Today, my beautiful bride, Cheryl, and I celebrate our 29th wedding anniversary as well as our youngest daughter's wedding. In turn, the wedding arrangements have reserved a place for the grandparents who have departed and wait for alll of us in heaven. We will shed tears of joy and sadness for new beginnings, final chapters, and memories that will bolster our courage for future victories.
