Well, I did it. I finally was able to give my daughter away at her wedding. This is something I've wanted to do, albeit with mixed emotions. What makes it a happy event is her new husband, whom I think the world of. High praise from a father-in-law.
We have all worked together at Pizza Hut. Before that, in another plane of existance, I worked with his Mother and various other members of his family. I guess when you stay around long enough that happens. Little did I think, when we were all bragging about our kids, we would see them get married.
I only wish my wife could have been there. Okay, as I was reminded there at the church, how do I know she wasn't there? I told the photographer if she developed the pictures and someone was in them who wasn't there at the time to save them for me as it might be my wife.
The idea of a ghost, spirit, or whatever you call it being in the picture wouldn't surprise me. I have had some experience with the supernateral world. I am fully convinced I have experienced proof of supernormal activities. I believe an angel, or a spirit, has saved my life more then once. I believe an angel has helped me and my wife on more then one occasion.
Once you've had someone you can't see keep you from falling down the stairs you don't doubt the existence of spirits. I'm sure my wife was there at the wedding. I just can't prove it. As a matter of fact, there is a portait of my wife over the couch in my living room and the twins will look at it as if they know the person in it. I'm sure they've seen their grandmother.
I'm also glad I got a chance to dance at my daughter's wedding. I don't know the same of the song. I've heard it, but can't place it. A year ago and the past year I've been in the hospital several times. Which is another reason I love my new son-in-law. He opened his home up for me to stay at after I'd gotten out of the hospital the first time. I would give the man the shirt of me back. I would now!
This is also because he is the father of my granddaughters(the twins). Of course they were passed around to everyone there at the reception. This upset my sister-in-law as she hadn't seen them and had come up from Florida with her family to be here for everything and hadn't seen the twins before. It was a little like having my wife there. She saw a lot of her sister(my wife)in the girls.
The only blot on the wedding fesivities was the next day while my daughter and her husband were opening wedding gifts my brother called and told me our Mother had been taken to the hospital. She had fallen out of bed and dislocated her shoulder, among other things. I find you don't have a happy occasion without some sorrow. Is that an Irish thing? I think it must be.
Anyway, the daughter is married, the band is gone home(okay, the DJ), the suit is hung up, the shoes are off, and my feet are put up on the couch. Kinda. I got them put up anyway. God bless my new son-in-law. Long life to the man as long as my daughter likes him and he provides for my grandchildren. God bless us all and I hope to be around to spoil them all senseless.
Slante'! A blessing on everyone who came to see my daughter off. She was very pretty in her dress. She made a beautiful bride and long life to her. I had a little bubbly and danced. I smoozed with everyone and we all went home happy. Enough for now. Semper Fi! Lee Zelhart
