It was a simple wedding service. Touching nonetheless. As I watch two young people joining their lives; intertwined into one future, I am reminded of where I am in Life's timeline.
I have come to a stage in life when friends gather to celebrate life in the passing of our elders and in the marriages of the children of our friends. And in between there are the births of the next generation, the births that make us grandparents.
Today, as the young couple said their vows, with love in their hearts, I couldn't help remembering that many among us have made those same vows, said those same words.
And in the years that follow, as we become so used to each other, as children expand our family, as careers tussle with family for our time and energy, we forget those words as Life's challenges overwhelm us.
So today was a good reminder to find those words I said years ago. And more importantly - LIVE the promise I made.
