I started to post about how Timothy had a seizure yesterday in church during the choir (I’m IN the choir) concert. Which reminded me of the time he THREW UP during the Easter concert. Various congregation members ran to his assistance while I sat helplessly in the choir seats watching the drama play out. (one mom with 4 kids ran to the Janitor’s closet for towels and cleaner. Another mom with 4 kids, ran home to get her favorite barf cleaner and more towels. A third person, a young (25?) new (baby a few months old) dad, came back with a paper towel from the men’s room:))

But then I was remembering how on Saturday, Blair and I were trying to wrap things up so we could have some ‘alone time’ if you know what i mean, but we were waiting for the text from our daughter for a ride home, prepping Easter dinner, and attempting to get other kids to give up and go to bed. When we had little kids, we were too tired for ‘Big Fun’ and the babies kept waking us up. Now, the kids stay up so late and stay out so late, we’re still too tired!

But then I remembered that we went to a wedding reception on Friday night. We don’t always get to these things, but this family is dear to me and I felt it was important. A lot of our neighbors and friends were there. One neighbor had made the wedding dress and another had made the bouquet. I love that. The sense of community and family I get from this area. Anyway, at one point, a friend of the wedding couple’s sang ‘The Way You Look Tonight’. It was so sweet, watching the couple dance and listening to him sing. They are so young. And they think nothing bad will ever happen to them, because they are so prepared and so fabulous. And if it does, why, they’ll just breeze right past it, for the same reasons. I mean, after all, what could possible happen to two gorgeous, happy, in love, wonderful people like us? And I remembered feeling that way at my wedding with Blair. Life was going to mean so much and be so much and we were going to have so much.  One good friend was standing by me, and I told her what I was thinking. She smiled and said, “Well, I can’t seem to give it up, after a false start, I have him.” She gave her husband, not her first, standing next her, an arm squeeze. Very happy and very much in love. 

Blair and I have certainly been through a lot. And we are still married and still in love. And if someone had told us what was coming, and they may have, but they were old and we were young, so ha ha! We knew that our life would be different, because we were so fabulous:)

So, I guess my point is, that somehow you have to have that. That sense that you and your sweetie are different, that your life will be fabulous because the two of you are fabulous. And your life will Rock. And someday, when the kids have moved out, you may actually have sex.
