Bye Bye June

Whew! July is here none too soon. I can use an uneventful month. June was full of plenty to blog, but I'll be fine that my attention was elsewhere than writing.

First the joy that was marrying Rachel. She worked so hard to plan the details of a wonderful weekend. We can't believe it's already more than a week past.

So many family and friends around made it the special event we hoped it would be. A thanks to all that wished us well. We're already looking forward to the honeymoon in September. Greece, we're still coming!

Of course, my dad passing the morning of the wedding brought sorrow. But in a way it brought me strength to. I was nervous about the presures of the day for the first time that morning as I drove to see dad. After seeing him and saying my last goodbye as he peacefully left us, I came to a level of peace that his spirit was going to be with us at the church.

I felt so much for my Mom that day. She understood this day was coming, but it still had to hurt. I just hope the wedding provided a means of comfort. She seemed to do well that day, and on those that have followed. Now that much of bustle of the wedding and funeral are past, and people have gone home, I hope she will do things with Wendy, B and I to not feel lonely. We're here for you Mom!

Here's hoping for cheery days ahead!
