There is a board filled with wedding photos of friends and family in my home. The board was my husband's idea. He thought it was a great way to visually capture what for many people is one of the most important day in their lives.

On a good day the board fills me with hope. I see all the love and happiness captured in time and i know that wherever these people are, they are happy.On a reflective day i wonder whether these people were able to withstand the peaks and vallrys of life and grow stronger through them.

All except for one couple now have at least one child. Children are the supreme blessing of marriage even if its possible for one to exsist, thrive even without children.
I feel badly for the childless couple because i know they badly want them. Its just taking a little longer than they expected.
