pic credit: gundluth.org Today is a special day. I met the love of my life eighteen years ago and we were only 18 years old at the time. The pendulum shifts. Soon, I will have known him more years than not knowing him. What a thought. We were kids when we met, when I really think about it, but he fascinated me. Somehow, he separated himself from the pack, as a deeply thoughtful, compassionate and strong man....yes, at 18 he did all that to capture my heart for these many years. But it was more than that, it was more than what you might see on the surface. We had common ground on so much, and it began with a common Faith. We met on a Teen Retreat several towns between his home and mine, and watching him teach others about our Faith, lead others to find God for themselves was captivating. In my heart, I knew, not only could he teach me, he could teach his children. At times, I saw him determined, fearless, yet ready to listen, to hear me, to take my heart into his hand
