Clark with Asher |
My husband Clark: We've been married for 40 years. He's a wonderful husband, father, and grandfather with numerous exemplary traits: for instance, he can fix just about anything. You wouldn't believe me, anyway, if I listed them all! He's just that kind of person, and I cannot imagine my life without his presence.
Daughters Holly and Bethany: These fantastic young women have enriched our lives far more than I could ever describe here. Both are talented, beautiful inside and out, and are two of my very best friends. Holly is a dedicated mother who sings beautifully; Bethany is a trained chef who cooks deliciously. We three share a zany side to our personalities, making us prone to laughing fits.
Kurt and Bethany |
Holly and Philip |
Our sons-in-law, Philip and Kurt: Total opposites in personality, these two young men are wonderful husbands, and we consider them sons. Philip is also a loving father, a scholar, and a pastor. He's quiet, but beneath that calm exterior lies an extreme sports fanatic! Kurt is a computer genius who can do anything with any item of technology (he would dispute that statement, but it's true). When we first met, I realized I had another early-morning talker with whom I could converse before 6:00 a.m.
Our three grandchildren:
Well, what grandparent does not love his/her grandchildren?? I see some of us in each of them, and it is delightful to "go down memory lane" when they say or do something revelatory of ourselves. Annika, Alexa, and Asher are beautiful, sweet, loving, and God-given enrichment to our family!
