A few weeks ago Sarah, Ashley, and I set out on a search for the perfect wedding dress...
(Yes, it was a windy day!)
We visited several wedding boutiques where Sarah was treated like the princess she has always been (hence the name "Sarah"!)...
As Sarah tried on many gorgeous dresses...
Ashley and I took a look around the store...
After a two day search, Sarah found the perfect dress and placed her order...
(Sorry, no photo available! You didn't really think I was going to show it to you, did you?)
We were all super excited and started the drive home. It's hard to believe that I really bought a wedding dress for my sweet Sarah! Every girl dreams about her wedding day, and it is so exciting to see those dreams come true for Sarah!
On the way home, Sarah said, "Mom, I'm so glad you got to do this with me!"
I replied, "Of course I went with you! I wouldn't want to be anywhere else!"
Sarah paused and explained, "When you were sick, I didn't know if you would be here to do this with me." Her eyes filled up with tears and they spilled onto her rosy cheeks.
I started to cry too, so sorry for the fear my girl had to face; and so eternally grateful that I am here to be a part of her wedding.
Thank you, God, once again, for the gift of THIS day with my girls!
Love you I.K!
ReplyDeleteLove this!!!
ReplyDeleteI love this and I love the fact that God saved you because He knew how bad Sarah and your kids still need you. Laura you are such a special person, hand picked by God for Tyler. He will need you one day just as much as your natural born children. I am so grateful that Tyler has you for another "Mom"
