“Falling…”
I was brought to tears…almost to my knees. Okay, okay – we all know I’m a crier, but I really did boo-hoo (totally embarrassed). Perhaps it was the sappy music little styling muffin, Lindsey Regan Thorne was playing in my ear – music definitely moves me. But the truth is – I know Melissa. I know her story. I’ve watched her grow into a beautiful woman the last several years. She has shared many wonderful life experiences with us, one being the story about the loss of her mother.
I know there is nothing more on the face of this beautiful earth that she would want more than her Mom by her side through this happy engagement journey. And my heart just crumbled in that moment knowing this. But I know she is up there with Jesus celebrating her precious baby girl and her incredibly sweet fiance, Jeff. It’s gonna be a big old party in Heaven and on Earth come August 24th, 2013.
Hope you enjoy a little snippet into their beautiful fall engagements…
