Finding this little video could not have come at a more serendipitous time..
You see..
Maria and Mike Bought a house...
While this is a good thing... a very good thing..
This event has made everything really REAL.
With less than 80 days to their wedding and the ink dry on the paperwork of their home.. It is all so much to take in.
Last night's events didn't help much..
Being the first Wednesday of the month..it was Dinner night with the girls ...
Mr R out of town ( again!)..
Mamma on a marathon phone call and Maria and Mike out to look at furniture.
I didn't really think about that the evening was going to be as emotional as it turned out to be...
Maria came in the door ... and didn't say a word at first..but I know her all too well.. and could tell she had been crying..
I asked if she was OK.. and all she could blurt out was..
" Everything is changing!"
What triggered this deluge?
Apparently they found and bought a couple of essential pieces of furniture ...just one more reminder that all of this really is happening.. and that in a few SHORT months.. her life.. and ours will be very very different.
Blink...Blink...
It IS.. a little overwhelming.
She quickly composed herself as we talked it all out.
I know her tears are happy tears.. but they were still hard to see..
Yes our lives hers and mine WILL be different soon.
But Change is good. and she is doing what she is supposed to do.
Move on and start her life with someone she loves... and who loves her.
It is the way life is supposed to look.. Happiness... Change.. Progress... it's actually a wonderful ride.
(even though it does get a little scary in spots.)
Her new life will be with someone I trust her heart with.. I love her so much..
but I guess I can share..Thankfully.. one of the things a good Italian / Catholic upbringing taught me was how to share.
Yep and to think it all started with 
Pagan Babies.
Pagan Babies.I love you girl more than you can even imagine.. Its all going to be alright.
....besides....
