Thank You for Being a Friend, Part 1: The Hospital

Thank you for being a friend
Traveled down the road and back again
Your heart is true, you're a pal and a confidant
--Andrew Gold, "Thank You for Being a Friend" 

Well, I can certainly say the past few months have brought with them their share of challenges - but also much joy.  I meant to write this sooner while events were fresher in my mind....but given that I was recovering from surgery and still shrugging off the haze of anesthesia and pain medication, I can't really say they were all that fresh anyway!

I wanted to share this with you, though, because what I went through around the time of my surgery really drove home for me how blessed we are to have such amazing friends in our lives.  People who, when it comes down to it, are more like family than friends.

Bliss.

Our family has been through a lot lately with my health and wedding preparations - and for awhile, we didn't even know if the wedding would happen as planned because I had emergency surgery.  We'll talk about this in a future post, but for now I wanted to thank all of you for hanging in there with me and I also wanted to share a photo from our wedding day - a photo I had started to doubt would be possible just 48 hours before.

Here's to love and perseverance!
