The Companion

Last weekend, I received a gift.

It is a walking stick, made by my son in law, Josh.

It is a lovely, beautiful gift

made from a branch that fell on their property.

It is a meaningful gift in so many ways.

It is balanced and dense.

I love it. Thank you Josh.

I am off to walk my laps.

Love you.

Birthdays and Anniversaries

Many moments of my life are golden.

Lovely, golden moments of joy and love.

Today we celebrate the birth of Lauren Judith Tolbert Miller.

Born April 2, on a sunny afternoon in Memphis, Tennessee.

She was a good baby, kind child, headstrong teenager and is an amazing adult.

I thank God every day for her.

Lauren Paris

For her birthday, I wish her only days filled with positive energy

and

to be surrounded by people who adore her.

Happy birthday Lars. I Love you beyond the moon.

On April 2nd, we also celebrate the marriage of Lars and Josh.

In 2005 we all met in Mexico.

{30 of us!)

to witness as they promised to love each other forever.

This is my favorite photo from the ceremony.

Happy Anniversary Lars and Josh.

The two of you are a great team

and

so very important in my life.

Love you.
