I couldn't sleep. Don't you just hate that? After lying in bed for about 20 minutes I finally got out of bed and did what everyone does at that time of morning. Pushed the on button on my laptop to see it whir to life. Then I looked for quilts for my king size bed. The one I've had my eye on sold out of the king size. darn. I found something else I liked though. I'm waiting for Chris to open his eyes so I can get his approval. He won't love it, I already know that but it's whether he gives me the, "it's okay" or "uh-huh". Uh-huh means he can live with it. It's okay means he'd rather not. That is one thing I have learned about him in 17 years of marriage.
And as I celebrate next week, 17 years of being married, I am reflecting on this post. It is written by Gary who lost his sweet wife Amy on July 3rd, only 2 1/2 months after she was diagnosed with cancer.
I can't imagine.
He wrote it in the light of the moon. So it seemed especially appropriate that I was reading it with the same moon shining outside.
Read it, you will be glad you did.

Congratulations on your upcoming anniversary! Hope you were able to get some sleep and got the quilt you wanted!
I am bawling now. I can't imagine the pain. Did you know Gary or Amy? What a sad story - especially for the kids. He has an amazing strength and testimony. Thanks for sharing his words, I might quote him and share the story in my marriage class in Sunday school.
