There is this topic of conversation that my personal life seems to be revolving around at the moment.
I get asked over and over again how I feel about Erin getting married.
In many aspects I would rather go through oxycontin detox. Or have my teeth pulled. Or have my left arm cut off. I am left-handed, so it means a little more than my right. Seriously though…It just doesn’t seem like she should be an adult or old enough to get married. I would like to say that she is too young, but I really can’t. She has always been older than her years. She has never given me reason to doubt her decisions.
Ok, except when I walk in her room. Then I decide that I don’t have a daughter, I have an explosion…and I can’t help but giggle when I think of what her house is going to look like. I am so sorry Matthew, in that aspect you have all my sympathies son.
So, all that to say that it isn’t an easy question to answer. There is just too much to say about it.

I had the pleasure of meeting you in Memphis at one of Christy’s early book signings. She mentioned that night what a terrific friend you are and how she couldn’t do without you. I could tell how much she loves you….and how glad she was that you were there for all the “fun” of being on the road
Best regards,
Jackie

I just read Christy’s story about you on Southern Plate and it makes for a better world with people like you and Christy in it. To do God’s work for him and asking nothing in return I know he has reserved a special place just for you. Christy seems to think so much of your friendship. I’m wishing you a most blessed and happy birthday and hope it will be joyful. You have a beautiful daughter and gained a nice son-in-law. Have a Happy Birthday!! *–*
Thank you Elizabeth!
