It's been a while since it was just the three of us celebrating mother's day. It's probably been since May 1988 (I suppose Mike was sort of there, but we couldn't see him, so it was sort of just us). We've certainly missed The Wedge this week, but having lunch with them to celebrate Mom today, and having dinner together earlier this week for Dad's birthday, I've had a chance to soak up their friendship. I've got really special parents and I love this picture of them. I wish I had met them back in the early 80s when they met each other--Studly Tom and Susan the Artist in their late 20s--that would have been great. But I'm glad I know them now: devoted, silly, hopeful, creative, patient, generous, tried, true. They walk with God deeply and steadfastly, together and separately. And they always point me back to what it is all about, encouraging me to have faith and trust God at all times. It's an honor to be their daughter.
