I'm thankful for my Brother and Sister-in-Law !!





















I am thankful for my younger brother, Mark and his wife, Sara !! For the example they are of true love !! They have been married since Sara was 15 and Mark just turned 18 !! They have raised 2 beautiful daughters and have 4 awesome grandsons and 1 cute as a bug's ear granddaughter !! They have an enduring love which is an example of how it's done !!! Staying together through it all, that is !! They have had their ups and their downs but stick together they have. I will sum it up in a little story. Mark and Sara were preparing to fly to Hawaii for vacation, right after Sara had a breast cancer scare. (side bar here: Mark gets extremely motion sick) I was talking with him on the phone, I told him I had been praying for them to be safe and knew the Lord was watching over them. My brother said to me, "I know this too, but if we have to die this is how I would want to go, together, I cannot imagine my life without Sara in it." I know she feels the same way !! They are still in love after 32 years together come "Heck or High Water" !! Thank you both for you true devotion to each other and the example you are to us all !!! Love you Sissy

It's interesting to me that they had daughters but then now have 4 grandsons (plus the one granddaughter of course)...wonder why we often have opposite of what we raised.

Not many couples who start out together at 15 and 18 will have such a good marriage. Good for them!!

In this picture Sara looks a little like Debbie Freeman.

Grandma Honey, it is even more interesting that their girls both have 2 boys !! Then their oldest decided to have another baby and had a girl !! She is loved by all as you can imagine !!

Allyson, didn't you meet them at Hill's farewell?
