Endowed and Sealed

The two week marathon is over... Life is slowly returning back to its normal crazy pace.

It was amazing!

We actually had people come join us from various person of the country. We never expected to become important enough to justify such love. The sealer joked that he felt in the presence of celebrities, due to the visitors...

During the first part of the sealing ceremony, my wife could not contain herself. She was so choked up, she could barely respond when the sealer asked her if she accepts the covenants... I did my best to support her with all my strength, and she eventually regained some composure.

When the kids walked into the sealing room, all in white, I felt they recognized the magnitude of the event and the settings. They were so atypically quiet and calm, doing as they were told and paying attention to all that was around them.

It was a marvelous day. It was our day!

In the past we have already been married twice (to each other). The first time in 1990, in a traditional Thai ceremony. The second in 1993, in a reform Jewish ceremony. We had always viewed the first as performed for my wife's parents and the second for mine. This time (our third and last) was for us...

We had a wonderful reception in the evening in which we met with some additional friends who could not make it the ceremony.

I am committed to returning to the Temple as soon as I can.

TOTD: "Growing through Adversity" is not just a phrase, it is a state of mind.
