Wedding Bells Are Silent

Today as I shopped Hobby Lobby to find my supplies for a photo shoot when I was forced to realized something that I had put out of my head.  You were getting married to the love of your life, the man of your dreams, and your one true match sent By God.  That was a super real moment for me.

In that moment as I looked at things I had moments of thoughts like this “Did she pick this up and look at it for her wedding?” or “Would she be in here right now with her daughter excitedly picking stuff out for her big day!”

It left me feeling so insanely sad, so guilty that I am with my love, so guilty that I get to have moments with my son and daughter still.   You deserved all this too.  So to you I say, Sherry I am sorry those wedding bells are now silent, but I can only hope those Trumpets playing when you entered those Pearly Gates were more profound than any wedding bell would ever have been.  I like to think you and Mike head those Trumpets together.  That while on earth we feel you never got to have your journey with Mike, but indeed you are having that journey with him on a much larger level.

I did not know you and Mike, but standing in that line for over an hour to pay my respects I seen the friends your kept, the people you have touched, and they were amazing people.  So that tells me that you were too.

While now I grieve for you and Mike, even though I didn’t know you, I also hope people know you guys are not far from each other in heaven.
