And when you fell to your knees in the hall I wanted nothing more than to put my arms around you and help you hold on. And then you stood up, gathered your courage and walked back to the side of your literal other half. What an amazing couple you are that you have been able to stand strong and together through it all. There are many who could learn so much from your example.Damama Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00433392172815959276noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-47206186185779851952008-03-26T21:33:00.000-05:002008-03-26T21:33:00.000-05:00thank you so much for sharing your journey...prayi...thank you so much for sharing your journey...praying for you and your beautiful family!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-40716328257111525.post-7796646999895129592008-03-26T18:52:00.000-05:002008-03-26T18:52:00.000-05:00I tried to comment yesterday, but for some reason ...I tried to comment yesterday, but for some reason I kept getting this strange error message...<BR/><BR/>What an amazing story and journey.

I had just learned that I was shifting roles within Hallmark. I was getting off third shift and heading to their headquarters. I also remember thinking how lucky Brian was to have Angie because she was always so strong. I knew she would be there for him to help him whenever he needed uplifted. There are many people placed into a similar circumstance who would have taken the flight over the fight approach. The combined strength is the direct contribution to how far you two have made it as a young newlywed couple. You both continue to inspire me!
