I have one more “favorite photo” to share from my trip home.

By Love Refined

This one.

This moment.

My dad helping my mom into Mass on Sunday; a man holding the arm of his beloved bride; a couple married sixty-six grace-filled years. It’s what I hope for my nephew and his wife; it’s what I hope…for us.

One Final Note: The title of this post is a reference to this book. I recommend it.

    Ok, don't take this wrong. But if this was a picture of my parents, I would say Mom is trying to stop Dad so she can go talk to Mrs. Soandso. And my Dad (with his hearing problem) would just keep moving along so he's (super) early enough to get where they're supposed to be.

Hi there!

I’m Margaret in Minnesota, and this is my mom's-eye perspective of a kid-heavy life. I love the Lord; I take lots of photos; and I always try to tell it like it is, from sex to depression and everything in between! I hope you enjoy your time here. ♥
