Alvarado Gold
Page 20
As I heard Grandpa’s voice telling me, “Dance, Addie, Dance,” Gary slipped a gold wedding band on my finger. I took Gary’s large hand in mine and gazed into his eyes before I gave him his ring. It had been his idea to inscribe both bands with the date and the verse, Whither thou goest, I will go, but I wanted Gary to know I’d follow him to the ends of the earth as he had promised me he’d do.
I’d found my family and the love I’d searched for so long. As Gary pressed the rock he’d given me at the motel into my hand, he winked at me. The minister asked God to bless our marriage and my renewed faith washed over me. I looked into Gary’s violet-blue eyes and knew to every thing there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.
