Daniel and Mary Ann at funeral


This is Certain Man and Certain Man’s Wife. 



       I love this picture of Daniel.  And I know it isn’t the best picture of me, but it was taken at the meal following Daddy’s funeral on December 22, 2005, and I feel like it almost embodies what that day was like for me.  It was a day that was filled with the conflict of life and death, triumph and loss, victory and defeat, joy and sorrow.  I felt such a dichotomy in my soul, and my husband was a tower of strength for me.  I drew from his strength that day and even more in these days that have followed. 
       We are far from perfect, and our family is far from perfect.  But he has been so good for me, such an encourager, such a good friend, such a stabilizing force in my often capricious emotions.  I could not be who I am or do what I do without his energizing support.  I thank God for this gift to me and our children.

  1. BEG, I love this picture! It shows the oneness in spirit that you and your CM have. I can see from the picture that CM was there for you, and how very much he loves you. Thank you for caving in to all the pressure and sharing this picture with us!

  2. Oh, CFBP, I do so love that picture of you and yours.  It’s perfect of both of you.  I miss you, too.    Blessings for a peaceful, joy-filled day. 

  3. Wonderful, wonderful picture!!    We surely do love you two!!    Awesome tribute to your husband, M.A.

  4. nice pic BEG. i taught juniot high reading for 24 years and social studies for 2 years. dont worry about spelling with me. i can hardly run this keyboard so it doesnt bother me a bit. the pictures were taken at my house. did u notice the dust. k just doesnt clean like i did. i have been feeling pretty good lately. i guess if my arms and knees didnt hurt i wouldnt have anything to complain about. i sometimes forget i have pd. have a good day,

  5. What a lovely picture!  There is a beautiful quality coming through that photo.  The look of love between you two is wonderful.  It is nice now that I can picture CM and CW. Thanks for putting it on your site.  You know what my husband and I look like but you are prompting me to post a picture taken on Easter Sunday at our daughter’s house (since I was, also, puzzling about what to put on my site to get my scary hair picture not so prominent!) 

  6. CMW, I should have typed

  7. Great Couple! You all are some of my very favorite people!!!!!!

  8. BEG, forgive me for being a copycat!!!!  But so often someone else’s post gets me going on one of my own!

  9. Such a nice sweet picture. Your facial expressions are wonderful!Talk about being a copy cat I am being a MAJOR COPY CAT( I am sure glad you showed us how do this bold-ing business) I am repeating (copying)your well written sentiments exactly as I could not have said it better and it reflects my feelings for my man also.(although I must look up “capricious”, but if you have those moments I probably do also)

I appreciate your posting and Dominie’s also.

  13. Hey, enjoyed your comment. That reunion will be in PA in August, but I’m not sure about a side trip to Delaware. Staying Focused might do that, however. 😉
