WOW! What an emotional day. 20 years ago I married my husband but never met his dads side of the family because he had passed away a few years previous. I had only seen a couple of photos. His dad had orange/red hair was very artistic and gifted in music. When I met my husband he was a sign/billboard painter using tools that were given to him after his dad had passed. When I gave birth to my son and he came out with orange/red hair I thanked God for giving us a little piece of Daves dad so that we would always remember him. Daves dad was also named Dave and his cousin, Sundra, found my husband on FB and pleaded with him to come to a get together today, about an hour away where all of the family would be gathered. She said I know it will be awkward but we would all love to see you and meet your family. So we decided to go. I AM SO GLAD WE WENT. I am still in tears. Its like God gave the family a hug from heaven when Hunter walked in the room. The Uncle of David Sr. is who taught him the billboard trade, and he is older and was very close to David Sr.( more like a father to him) so he just hugged Hunter and said uncle Jack loves you and is very proud of you & the family just gathered around and stared it him. I couldnt hold back the tears. People gave pictures to my husband, art that his dad had drawn, and shared stories. They love Jesus and it was so comforting to see the history and parts of my children in their faces. Then look how crazy our God is.... I saw a women walk through the door that I instantly knew. When I was in highschool, I spent a great amount of time at my friend Dawn Wilder Riethmeier house with her mother Vikki Wade. She had a friend over named KAY all the time. Today KAY walked in and wondered what I was doing there. I said I married Dave. She brought my husband a piece of art and said she was FIRST cousins to my husbands dad and that they were VERY close and even lived together for a season. WHAT?????? This world IS small. I know this is a long story but I feel so blessed and so overwhelmed and so happy for my husband. I see him a totally different way now that I cant explain & I feel like God just kissed us from heaven. That is all. Have a great day everyone.
