I know today is a day the 75th anniversary of the day that will live in infamy. As a student of history, it is an important day for remembrance. However, there is something else on my mind about this day. Three weeks from today, my eldest daughter will be married.
I have had multiple people ask me lately how I feel about that. Am I ready for that? We have been making plans for the big day, with my wife doing a bulk load of that planning. So, from a preparation standpoint, things seem to be coming together well. In that sense, yes, I am ready.
How do I feel about her getting married? I feel excited for her, for them. I am hopeful for their future. I am not overly anxious about the wedding or beyond. I have concerns, as all parents do for their children. However, I believe my wife and I have raised her well. She has done well for herself since she has "left the nest." She is intelligent, determined, strong-willed, kind, and caring. And, by all accounts to date, she has found a good man. And, most importantly, they both are looking to God for direction and guidance.
You can ask me again three weeks from today how I'm feeling. And, while there might be a few more emotions flowing, I do not believe my feelings about the matter change much.
