11 years....




11 years ago my man and I stood at that altar 
and made a covenant 
with God and one another.










Then we sealed it with a kiss...











Oh, the blessing of spending my days with this man!
Sharing life,
Growing marital bonds through good and bad times.






I held a bouquet of peonies 
as I walked the aisle 
that hot, North Carolina Spring morning.



Our new backyard bloomed a sweet surprise this Spring...

Peonies.






Life with him is so sweet.








Thankful for my man.

Thankful for 11 years.




Happy Anniversary, honey.
I love you.





Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their toil.  
For if they fall, one will lift up his fellow. 
But woe to him who is alone when he falls and has not another to lift him up! 
Again, if two lie together, they keep warm, but how can one keep warm alone?  
And though a man might prevail against one who is alone, two will withstand him—
a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

Ecclesiates 4:9-12

"I Believe I Can Fly"



Thinking about 
when our little byrd girl
flew from our earth nest.


The look on her sweet face 
after she passed from this realm to Home.


     
Her last facial expression...

a simple, precious smile.  



Saw this on TV the other night.  
Sent my mind and heart straight back 
to the morning of October 26th, 2011
when my girl flew Home.

By the way, Jermaine Paul won The Voice. During his acceptance speech he proclaimed,
"Nobody but Jesus, man!".


I smiled with joy echoing his words exactly.
