Marriage is. Yes, there are so many decisions that make you change completely, but none more so than the one you make when you say I do.
I just watched my daughter do that, and I really knew that she had no idea how much she had just altered her life: irrevocably she has altered herself and her future. If I could explain to her what she has just done, I do not think that I would, because while I know that she is – indeed – ignorant of what she has stepped into – I too – share some amount of ignorance. I share that ignorance because like every newlywed, my heart is full of hope and love as I watch her begin her new life. There is something so magical about beginning anew, about jumping with faith to an unknown and unpredictable future. I share that joy by watching her and by believing as she does. I know that she has made a good decision, a very good decision. I thank all of the grammas and poppas and her father who are watching over her from heaven. I thank them very much.
To be greedy, and I don’t mean to be, but I am the luckiest mother!
