she said yes....

Almost a year ago, my oldest son met a wonderful young lady. She is one of those rare people who is beautiful inside and out. When you meet her for the first time you feel as if she's been part of the family forever...

She met mom and they were able to spend some time together. Of course mom liked her immediately just like the rest of us did...

This past weekend my son proposed to her... It was so sweet. He paid attention to every detail from the custom designed ring to the horse and carriage ride, where he asked her to be his bride. It's so wonderful to see happiness and romance still exists...
Those precious moments somehow make all of the sadness and pain of life worth it all....

And I know mom is smiling, because she said "yes"........
