I will tell you a story I've told you before. We will laugh (like the last time) and tell a few more. Then perhaps we will say it and perhaps we will not, but both our old hearts will be thinking this thought-that it's good to be known, and it's good to be there, where the fragrance of lilacs hangs in the air." I still don't know how you found this card for my birthday with the perfect words to describe us together. I pray for many years for you with your dear husband and your precious children and yes, selfishly, me too, and I praise God for today, this moment, the gift of knowing you and being known. CRYING!!! LOVE YOU! “On the porch, many years from now you will sit on the swing, I will sit in the chair, and the fragrance of lilacs will hang in the air. I will tell you a story I’ve told you before.

You notice other people in the midst of your own trial. You are able, not only to notice them and put the pieces of their lives together through a vignette, but also to turn around and pour out blessing on the rest of us with your edifying words and heart of love. Thank you, Angie, and know that this aging wife (40 years this past Aug.) is indebted to you for your example in the arena of suffering, having been made a spectacle to the world...oh, how you're using it, and how He's using you, dearest one!

That you'll grow old with him and sit on a big front porch in your rocking chairs ;) with a glass of sweet tea, all the while watching your many grandchildren running around!
