Mom's excitement is dampened by the
Fact that her husband is gone and she will
Be the one walking the bride down the aisle.
I know how she feels.
I did the same for my eldest.
No matter how long a dad's been gone,
Those special events are a combination of
Sadness and gladness.
We shed tears of both joy and sorrow.
I'm praying that the widow will be able to
Rise to the occasion.
I'm praying that the happiness she shares with
Her daughter on her wedding day will
Outweigh her grief.
