"Am I going to let the love we shared destroy and freeze me or let it make me more of who I am?"

This question was posed at my young-widows group. It reminds me of how Chuck helped me become the woman I am...how his love DID help me become ME. He married an ugly duckling (in oh so many ways). His love brought out my beauty.

We often talked about how gracious God had been to us well before we followed him...to bring us through time, space, and circumstance (diabetes, cancer)to meet and to love each other...to adore each other. I am a MUCH better person for having loved Chuck...for having been loved by Chuck. THANK YOU GOD!

As it did in our marriage, our love WILL continue to make me more of who I am.
