Even though it was a little warm, there was a cool breeze at 11:00 a.m. last Friday morning as the only granddaughter in the family got married. The wedding was outside under a huge tree, with lots of branches for shade. It was a small ceremony, and (as you can see), I had the honor of escorting Mom down the aisle for the bride's grandmother. Dad actually escorted Thekla into the ceremony.
It was short and sweet; in fact, pictures took longer than the ceremony! But the reception was inside, and it was all wonderful. Mom and Dad both did great.
One of the highlights had to be the attendance of the Archangelos. Over 18 years ago, Gabriela Archangelo was the recipient of Aaron's liver; she was within 30 days of probably losing her life. Instead, she is a beautiful 20-year old sophomore at Duquesne University in Pittsburgh, PA. She has remained close to all our family, and it was wonderful to see them at the wedding!
The trip was a little over 5 hours long, and it did take it's toll on Mom as she was pretty sore on Sunday after the trip back (we actually left on Thursday, had the wedding Friday, and returned Saturday). But she seems to be doing fine this morning.
Home Health Care will start physical therapy this afternoon. She's getting around the house pretty well; she actually walked (with her walker!) from her bedroom to the living room yesterday! WOOHOO!
I'll try to post a picture of the folks with Gabriela next time...

Dear sweet LaVera: Just talked to daddy and he told me about the wedding and that you were able to attend. I KNEW YOU WERE GOING TO BE ABLE TO GO!!! Praise the Lord for His goodness to give you the strength to progress so you could make this special trip to celebrate with your family. You look absolutely beautiful and I am so proud of you! Our family here in Little Rock just returned from a week at Lake Ouachita. It was a wonderful week...great time of fellowship with family and friends, great weather, great water to ski on, and great cookin'. So grateful daddy found this lake for us years ago. Well, you continue to improve in your therapy and know that we all celebrate with you that you were able to go. Once again, let me say that you look absolutely beautiful!!! Love to all. Rita Marie
