My daughter Lauren and Megan share a wedding moment. Photo by Clark Miller.
It is about 9:20 here and I am listening to music (Ryan Adams) and trying to focus a bit. I have been lost in an emotional whirlwind. The wedding was incredible and it is difficult for me to express how I feel about it.
You all have been following my life for so long so you understand that everything that I deal with has a good side and a bad side. I mean, when they told me that I had the liver disease and that I could be healed, they told me that I had Cancer the very next month and that a new liver was years and years away. Every upside and break in the clouds usually brings the rain for me and that fact has been very hard for me to understand and deal with.
The funny thing about the wedding is that there does not appear to be a down side. I have been lost in my own head for the last few days wondering when the truck will hit me from the side but that has yet to happen.
Everyday I wake up wearing this wedding band and I am thankful. Inside the band it says, "Each Day Counts, 04/22/06." That is what she had engraved for me because she understands that I have to live this way. She knows that I have to love and appreciate every single day just as much as I love and appreciate her. I don't have to think about ever having to live without her again. For the rest of my life I will wake up knowing that the most beautiful woman in the world is my wife.
So life is good today. The sun is shining and even if it wasn't her eyes would provide my guiding light. I will update again soon and link to the Adam Sandler song. I will also share the photos of our special day. From what I have been told, nearly 1,000 photos were taken that day. I will have over 1,000 pieces of evidence that my life is going to be just fine. I will be reminded over 1,000 times that I am the luckiest man in the world.
We are all lucky to be alive and safe today. Please do something today to make you feel alive inside. Wear your heart on your sleeve today and let someone touch it. If tears come, wipe them aside and just move forward. I am grateful for every reader and every positive word.
Smile today. Laugh today. Play today. Love today. Live today!
I really need to update this site more often. People email me all the time if I don't update just to see if I am still doing ok and I appreciate that very much. It's amazing to think that so many people care about little old me! I never mean to make anyone worry. I just seem to get so busy lately.
Right now my mind has been on school and our big day. It has now been over a year since I proposed to Meg and that is just hard to believe. April 22 is so close now. The wedding plans have been made. I can't wait to see her in her dress. Cinderella will come to life right before my eyes and she will be mine. The shoe will fit. I just hope that she doesn't turn into a pumpkin on our wedding night! I have a few plans! :-)
I can't wait to share the photos of our special day with all of my readers. We are looking forward to a long life together. No matter these damn health problems...I will do whatever it takes to be healthy for this beautiful woman who has decided to allow me to experience her beautiful soul every day of my life. I will do what it takes to make it through a transplant and beat this pain and fatigue that is getting to me so much lately. I have been so damn tired. I hate that factor the most about my illness.
The photo above (click to enlarge) is a screenshot of our wedding site. I built it to share photos and info. with our wedding guests. If you want to check it out, please feel free. We will update it as information becomes available. It is great to be able to share our day with so many people that care so much about us. You all have a very special place in our hearts!
