I'm glad that your husband and you persevered against so much negativity, and I'm doubly glad that you are still a happily married couple. How nice that things have changed so much and that they are still changing, where marriage between different religions and races is concerned. How sweet that you proved all the naysayers wrong. Thank you for sharing this bit about you; I'm sure you've encouraged a lot of others with this post. *hugs*AmyGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10016393315360502122noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8199270158927284616.post-86100173641950205072015-02-25T14:01:04.128-05:002015-02-25T14:01:04.128-05:00Alana, thank you for the shout out, it really made...Alana, thank you for the shout out, it really made my day.

I've heard of this thing (children invited to child with autism's birthday party; no one shows up) happening so many times, it is heartbreaking.

When life puts extra - and unnecessary - barriers in our path to nourishing those relationships, we are especially grateful to those who help to lift the barriers. No doubt we all have such people in our lives and it is always good to remember and thank them, as you have. Dorothy Bordershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12441731296027227394noreply@blogger.com
