Tom, Beth, Shane & our lil new one to come(in mommy's belly) had a scheduled flight for the weekend to gather with us ....I know they wouldn't miss it for the world, but instead nature takess it's coarse and this is something no one can control. I felt so bad... i guess we all felt bad!!! but as Tom called me at 9:30 am on Friday morning I knew something was wrong, either they were suprising us with an early flight or something was not right. He sounded terrible, but of coarse tried to be strong insisting he would be fine by the next day... meanwhile Beth both carrying & creating their new baby boy was still sick in bed, Shane had just recovered from the flu...& I mean the nothing stays in or down flu... as to be expected mommy caught it, & then just as Tom got home from work, cleaned & sanitized the house, packed everyone up for the trip to begin for the morning it lingered it's way to him by midnight that night...they were up all night sick. The minute I heard I told him not to worry, it seemed too crazy to come down for exactly one day with the rates of cx's and rs's not to mention the hustle and bussle of traveling...I thought my gosh they have had enough going on these last 2 months, save the flight for a better time~ Tom must have got up early enough to re-arranged his way with the airlines and had already rescheduled with the hopes and faith they would feel better by then. I know both of us wanted nothing more than to have him walk me down the isle but there are somethings we can't handle nor control- the both of them not only exhausted from taking care of our baby shane from when he had the virus, but now, doing both that & "sharing the bowl" (...if u know what i mean) this meant nothing else than to cancel their trip for the second time around. They felt terrible and so did I...but there was a sense of releive in my heart that they didn't force themselves out for this short ceremony when all I wanted for them was to take care of each other and get better! You were in our hearts, never forgotten, & so much loved for all your effort to make it happen. I love you guys so much & truly felt your love the entire day!!
I was so pleased & blessed to have my grandpa Grundy give me away, as well as mama... just before the ceremony Sarah had a gift that is priceless... it was daddy dean on a tape with all of us~ it filled my heart to hear him and gave me the most beautiful sense of peace. He sounded just like Grandpa!!!! Wow, truly amazing, and most of all I was so proud! in short, every plan and goal our daddy dean had mentioned and hoped upon on this tape had come true. I was so proud to hear this & so proud of mama for carrying the rest through. What an amazing family we have been blessed with...through good times & bad~isn't that love!!
