What’s In A Vow

Good evening! Monday blog! When you are home with a sick spouse, all day, everyday, I am not complaining! You just have a lot of time to read, and in between everything else, you have a lot of thinking going on! It doesn’t matter if it’s all of our wonderful times or our worst times! I cry through the memories of all of it! It went by so fast! I so wish, hope, and pray, when you say those vows, they mean everything! The good, the bad, and the ugly! Hang on until the storm passes! The sun will shine again! Anyone can quit! Fight for each other! Your vows are worth it! We had a lot of both! I loved him, I was committed to him, there was nothing that I would not do for him! Even when I felt like I hated him! Yes, I said that ugly word! Denny and I married with a lot of past baggage, that everyone thinks being in love can cure and make it disappear! Things that Denny and I had been through as children, and we were both married before! We tried to wing it for awhile, and I thought and believed we were on the right track when we accepted the Lord! The healer of all things, if you let it go and give it to God! He will take the burden, but you have to let it go! All wounds need to be cleaned out! You cannot put a bandage on infection and expect it to heal! Praise God, we made it through the mud! It was ugly! The other side is total acceptance! Leave it behind you, where it belongs! A vow is a solemn promise! If at first you do not succeed, you do not throw in the towel! Take it as it comes, deal with it! There are still some that have opinions! That’s ok! I say, in the grand scheme of things, does any of it matter? NO! I am focused on a much higher calling! All will be gone, we will be two perfect souls, gazing in wonder at each other for eternity! The nasty words associated with illness, like Parkinson’s and Dementia will be gone and never uttered again! What a glorious day that will be! No matter who gets there first! We will be waiting at the gate! I love you forever, Denny Reed! Goodnight! God bless!❤️🤗🤗❤️
