My son met an amazing young woman 2 1/2 years ago. From the beginning she has been a blessing in our lives. Once she became a licensed massage therapist, she came over every week to give my mom a soothing hand massage. Even when my mom wasn’t up to it, she would just come over to visit. Every time my mom saw the two of them together, she would say that they looked like they were a pretty close couple. Several weeks ago, my son announced that he was going to ask his girlfriend to marry him and showed my mom the ring. Even though she was struggling with her cognition, she answered that she figured that was going to happen. When my mom took a sudden turn for the worse, my son moved up his planned proposal. The day after their official engagement, he and his new fiancee came over to tell my mom. She was not responding at that time, but they were happy they were able to tell her before she died. Today they had their first meeting at the church for marriage preparation. They are so cute and so excited. It’s a reminder that life here continues on and it can even be full of joy, hope, and love.

I Found God today in the joy of my son and his fiancee.
