I can still remember the exact moment
13 (14) years ago
when our Edward slipped into conversations about
the day at school,
that he had had a girlfriend for two weeks<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And you know, as a parent maybe your guard gets up a bit,
oh gosh, we think, are we
ready for this
for someone to take your child\u2019s tender heart
and at that age, certainly their
self-esteem, their self-confidence, their
very unique, brilliant and beautiful
self
in hand
and will they possibly know, just what kind of
treasure they
have discovered
as you, their parent, of course already know
so very well<\/p>\n\n\n\n
but oh my, then to meet
just the loveliest girl, with her very own kind of
brilliance, beauty and amazingly, wholehearted
uniqueness
that you yourself, their parent
could not possibly have
wished
for anything different
for two so well suited
to recognize in each other
a deep kindness
to love and support, to imagine and
explore
to Laugh\u2026
and to choose, to
walk
in the world
together
all these years, and to many,
many more
we just really couldn\u2019t be happier
and to this brave girl
on behalf of the Willems Family
let me say,
Welcome Emily Jane,
to this day
becoming
one of Us!!\u00a0 \u2665\u2665\u2665<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
