    Hello everyone! I am SOOOO happy to report that my father was able to attend my wedding on Saturday!!! He even made it till almost the very end! It was very emotional for all, but it really made my night. We were not able to do the traditional dance, but I had the DJ play “My Wish” by Rascal Flatts and I went and sat next to him. There was not a dry eye in the place! I really feel that my prayers were answered, even if only for one special night.

    Thank you all!!! We went away to Hawaii over Christmas and my mother and father went down to Atlantic City with my sister for the holiday! My father loves it there and he was feeling strong enough so the decided to go (we only live about an hour from AC). Not your typical Christmas, but a good time was had by all!

    Oh I’m so thrilled it happened for you both! :)
    Your dad must have been so proud to see you with your new husband and have you take a moment to hold him close and recognize him.

    And congratulations on the wedding…I knew he’d be there! Yay!

    Mel, I’m SO glad it all worked out. I knew he would get to the point he could get out and around, with such a strong family supporting him.

    congrats on the wedding, and best of luck from Iowa.
