On this day 25 years ago I entered into marriage with the love of my life. I pledged to love him until death do us part. I had no concept of those words coming true so early in our lives. I always envisioned growing old together. We often joked about the fact that Terry was almost 10 years older than me and that Id be pushing him around in a wheelchair. He said he wanted me to take him up on Oil Ridge and hang on tight and ride with him down the hill on his wheelchair just like we had doubled up on sleds one winter and rode them from the top of Oil Ridge all the way to route 2--passing vehicles (Kenny Kline in his Jeep struggling to get up the hill) and fighting off the other two that had doubled up (Bird and Mary Ellen) and were trying to knock us off course. However, we prevailed. In our marriage whenever we doubled up and stood together no one could defeat us. It was however in time of division and solitude that death won over. I know people will read more into this because they think they know what was going on in our lives and that is okay. Only God, Ashley and I know the truth. And really only God knows the Whole Truth of the heart--the love, the pain, the peace, the healing that comes from having God in each of our lives. I thank God for all the beautiful memories I have of the antics of Terry and I through the years. I have so many stories like this one that bring a smile to my face. I hope that when you think of Terry that you do so with a smile on your face. To Terry Happy Anniversary. I can not believe that our baby girl just got engaged. It is hard not having you here to share in these milestones but I know that you are smiling down and watching over her and I . We would not want you here if it meant seeing you struggle with pain and depression. So we thank God that He saw you were struggling and He in His infinite wisdom saw fit to take you home. It has taken these 6 years since your death to come to this point that I can say that. It has not been easy but God has been my refuge and my strength. I hope that anyone reading this that still has issues with your passing or with any issues in their lives--that they find the peace of mind that I have in you dear God. It is time to heal the brokenness and let you work wonders in each of our lives. Psalm 77:14 You are the God who works wonders.
