eekend I came home for a wedding, my cousin Kara's. It was a beautiful day in and of itself, weddings always are, but this particular one was especially wonderful. When Kara was young she was diagnosed with Leukemia. I, and I'm pretty sure the rest of my family, never really dared to imagine this day would come. But it did, it was our own little miracle. Kara was absolutely gorgeous and she and Johnny looked so happy. It was a day that not only celebrated these two people's love and commitment to each other, but also the gift of Kara's life and the memory of those who lived and died.More than this though, the wedding was a triumph for my dad. He's a deacon and hasn't been able to carry out his ministry since he became sick. But he returned to the alter for this beautiful day. It was emotional and nerve racking and wonderful. It was a day truly blessed by God.
It was full of surprises, too, including a visit from FredBird! (probably the most tame of the surprises)
