The food was ready. Someone else was making sure that it was served and everyone was fed.
My dear friend Konny Sinton, as well as Doug's Aunt Bonnie, Uncle Verl, and cousin Rob and many, many others, kept everything under control.
But the most important part was that we were officially a family. We had been a family for a long time. But now it was official The ease at which Doug accepted being a father has always amazed me. And the ease at which the boys accepted Doug was truly astounding.
Some things are just meant to be.
The other almost overwhelming part was the total love and acceptance from Doug's family of me and the boys. We were immediately and completely part of the family. I don't think I will ever be able to tell them just how much that means to me.
I remember that day, three years ago, so fondly. Every moment is captured in my heart. It was amazing. It made me so, so happy. I love my husband so much and every single day I am overjoyed that we are together.
Today is my anniversary.
I am happy. I wouldn't change a thing.
I love you, Doug.
