Day 6073 - Day 229 - A Story About Love And Healing

Today the entire family went to spend the day at Dollywood, but that is not what this post is about. This post is a story about love- not the kind of love between a man and a woman, but about healing.

My wife taught me a lot about loving, healing, and forgiving… she really changed me from the inside out. Proof is in this picture. In this picture you can see my wife and daughter… but also you can see Beccy’s goddaughter- who is the daughter of her ex-husband and his wife.

His ex-wife is also in this picture- and she was the witness to our wedding as she and Beccy are near best friends now. Also in this picture is my former mother in law, a woman I have not spoken to in well over a decade, but when I heard that she might be coming on the trip- I told my daughter she absolutely positively had to be there with us- at the wedding, the reception, and anything we did as a family.

I was not always this way- and to be fair most marriages that end do not stay connected. My wife is the exception to the rule, and we have all grown through the challenges of this life. I would never be the person I am without her or the changes she has inspired in me as a person- and this picture will forever remind me of that!
