I want to say this brief statement before I start my blog today. I want to thank God for all he has done for me and my family on a daily basis and I want to pray for those countries that are troubled and facing all these deaths and controversy.....Please pray for these people for they are all your brothers and sisters in christ.......
It all started with a little girl that met her mate when she was 19 years old back in 1992. He was 23. He took on a big risk when they started dating because she had already been married and had two little ones of her own. He had a daughter of his own as well.So this was becoming a big family in the making. They moved in and later decided that it was time to make a real family and make things legitimate and got married on Feb. 25, 1994. This family immediately had increase in size because a son was added to the mist. So now it was four children and mom and dad. Needless to say two dogs. We had lived in so many places during our first years that we never thought that we would ever get it right. In the process we struggle a lot but always found our way. I am honor to say that the man that I said I do to was the perfect man for me. It was like God put him in my path to show me that miracles do happen. I was very young and struggling, but what a difference it was to have someone to struggle with. Really..... I was always told when you get a husband all your worries go away. (ha) They actually multiply but are very different. I now had a partner to share my frustrations with and had someone to yell at when I was mad and had a friend to converse with when I needed to talk. Had someone to share my dreams and make some new ones as we go. Our lives are all but what we plan. I now understand that. I however would never change anything. I thank God for my husband because although we are not rich in cash we are rich in love. I truly mean that. All the good and bad I would not trade it for the world. I think that we are strong today because of all the trials that we went through and believe me their was a lot of it. You can not begin to imagine. All I know is that if I wanted to change just one thing I wouldnt because I would be afraid to ruin what I have now.
Thank you for looking within and taking me as your wife and becoming a family. I know things are always going to be hard because all the good is not easy. I am up for the challenge and I can not think of a better person to share my ordeals with... thank you for always being there even when I think that you are not..To many more years and hope that God Blesses us as we embarked a new chapter in our lives and that is now old age...lol .. and grandparents........
Love your wife Mrs. Sylvia Barleston
