My Daughter Is Engaged...
I am so thrilled! I have been waiting and waiting for this event for ages, it seems. Ashton and she make a very nice couple. He is kind, sensitive, intelligent and very much in love with Kat. He gave her a beautiful jade necklace that he bought in China ten years ago to save for the person he was to marry. They will look for a ring together. I have never seen my daughter so happy, calm and content with someone. I could not be happier. It seems like yesterday when he sat on our bed and asked Jud for his permission to marry Kat. Jud was quite sick, at that point, and Ashton was a little nervous. It was pretty sweet. He told us he wanted to be with her forever. We gave him our happiest blessing.
Our daughter is engaged. My heart sinks to my toes. I think back to the day Ashton asked your permission to marry our daughter. You were so ill and it seemed that you initially had a hard time processing what he was saying. You then smiled that sweet, sweet smile of yours and told him that you were just the person you had been wishing your daughter would find. You gave him your blessing, then fell back asleep. My chest aches when i remember.
Our daughter is engaged. I never thought I would go through this alone. It would be unkind to tell them that there is no "forever."
I wish you were here.

Oh Suz, I know this is bittersweet for you and brings back so many emotions, you are elated for your daughter, but so sad for yourself and wishing Jud were there with you to share in such a special moment. I agree with Marsha, there may not be a forever here on this physical earth, but your and Jud's love will live forever. HUGS!

Hi Suzer,
So glad you can feel happy about your daughter, I understand how difficult that can be at this time...that your husband knew that she was marrying such a sweet and caring person as you describe, must have brought him some measure of comfort...wishing you Peace and Healing...

A wonderful milestone for you, Suz, but I understand how bittersweet this must feel. "Forever" has its own timeframe for each of us ... but whatever length of time it happens to bring can be filled with abundant love and joy not to be missed. My congratulations to you and your daughter.

Congratulations Suz! Such wonderful news. Ashton sounds like a wonderful young man and I'm so happy for Kat. There may not be a "forever" here on this physical earth but there is a forever when we leave here to be with our wonderful husbands. Love does live forever! (((((Hugs to you, Ashton and Kat)))))

Suz, I think she knows deep down that there is no "forever" but I hope that they have a wonderful and long life together.
Sending hugs you way. Thinking of you and wishing you Peace and Hope.
