Because I Said So: There's always time for happiness.

11/7/09

There's always time for happiness.

Last night it was my privilege to attend the wedding of my Grandfather to the Sweetheart of his winter years. It was beautiful to witness two people embracing life when so many others their age have decided that they have done all they are going to do, seen all they are going to see, and experienced all the good there is in life. I don't know Joyce all that well yet, but I know that she is now one of the luckiest women in the world to be a member of the John O. McClurg Jr. family. I pray that the newlyweds have many adventurous years together.
