~ :[CH5 - Day 218]:~ Unions
It was overcast when I left, but sunny and hot during the ceremony. I was burning up in the suit, but kept it on. I guess it's a good metaphor for life. Sometimes, even when you think you're ready, things change and can make things uncomfortable. If you keep the right mindset, however, you can make it through. Similarly with couples, understanding the highs and lows ahead and that things will not be perfect, embracing these imperfect moments and working together to solve them, will help tackle any obstacle ahead. It's always beautiful to see couples give their vows and to see the road that is ahead of them and you always appreciate the fact that you can share in the experience with them. I was a little unsure about this wedding simply because the introverted side of me feared the worst ... a wedding where I wasn't sure if I would know anyone. After a beautiful ceremony, it was comforting to see a familiar face, which made the rest of the day a lot more comfortable. Before leaving, I was lucky enough to snap this selfie, which I hope is the first of many times ahead that I can share with these two wonderful people who God brought together in this beautiful union. Later that evening, I was unified with a group of friends to say farewell once again to my cross country son. It's always sad to see him leave and while it's great to get together, it's also a sad day since it means he'll be gone for awhile. As I drove home though, it gave me some time to reflect and think about all the relationships I have built over time and how important they are in my life. From those that were not the best before and have become stronger over time and for those that I built long before and have withstood the test of time, I appreciate each bridge and as exhausting as it will be, try my best to revisit them as much as possible. As while time is limited, you can always find it if you're willing to search hard enough.
