For Angel and Neels, on their Wedding Day

Posted on July 24, 2010

When I felt my most alone, you were there.

Sometimes unseen but, always present.

Sometimes quiet but, always listening.

Sometimes too far away to squeeze my hand but, always close

enough for me to know you were.

When I lost my faith in things I could not understand, you believed

for me.

When I lost my ability to heal, you helped to soothe the hurt.

When I was unable to speak, you wrote the words.

When I lost my way, you gave me the map.

When I no longer believed in love, your love made me believe again.

When I had no other way of knowing, you took my hand and led me towards knowing.

When I did not know how to cope, you kept your faith in me.

I have said this to you before, and I say it to you again on your wedding day…

Your love story is the one that inspires me  to keep believing.

Your enduring love – which started as a surprise and became the love you share.

Your infinite love – the one that you share with the world.

Your kindest love – the one that holds Cam and I up on rainy days.

Your truest love – the one that kept my faith on the loneliest nights.

It is your love that held my hand, and still does today.

Thank you for sharing your love with me, with Cam, with the world.

Happy wedding day, my friends. I’m sorry I could not be there today but, you are in my heart, every moment of every day.
