It is absolutely wonderful to see beautiful things happen to phenomenal people. Congratulations, Darlene! I haven't come across too many people who have a beautiful, light-filled spirit on the inside and are just as beautiful on the outside. But, I have always thought of you as matching in this way so well. And, because, usually, like attracts like, I would be willing to bet that Gary has the same gentle, compassionate, playful, light-filled spirit that you have. I am delighted for both of you. Love is all that matters and it's obvious that you both are filled with it. We're all looking forward to meeting your future husband (it has a nice ring to it, doesn't it?).

I also wanted to say that your future father-in-law sounds like a hoot! And, Gary, you take stunning pictures. What a beautiful gift you have. I'm grateful that you make your gift available to everyone. Kind and generous. See? I had a feeling about you. Thank you for sharing your soul with us. Congratulations to both of you and many happy returns! Paula
