MOG (Mother of the Groom)

I had my first Mother of the Groom moment today. I woke up to find an email from a very dear friend, Marcia. I shared Joshua with Marcia for a while till her first born came along. She loved Joshua like he was hers and made him mind like I did. She made him say "please" and "thank you". She probably kept me from suicide lots of days! She has done her share of praying for my boy. She has given and invested for many years. In my heart, I thought that if anyone, other than family, would make the sacrifice to come for the wedding, it would be Marcia and her family. Well, Marcia is flying in, just for the weekend and leaving her husband and three children behind. Somehow, the reality that she is coming just made everything real to me. I love my boy like I can't even describe, but he is the man he is because a lot of people did a lot of investing and praying, and God heard those prayers. I have a young man to be proud of because of the work God has done, and is doing in his life. Today was probably not my last MOG moment!
