With some time to spare I have now done this. Your post is exquisite in every way, it's a masterclass in writing. If it teaches me one thing it's to concentrate on all the wonderful things I have in life and not dwell on the things I don't.<br /><br />As for the comments, well, thank goodness It's not one of my emotional weeks!<br /><br />I am with Jeanne, that dress that flows like a river, those pearls. Oh my, like the post they are exquisite and with your colouring and beautiful red locks, visions of Botticelli spring to mind.Dashhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05329090600374787029noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-89003098248270987052012-06-10T21:08:53.339+02:002012-06-10T21:08:53.339+02:00Cheers Clare--your story is so amazing!

I too, never dreamed of marriage, babies, any of those things... I guess I'm just a live-by the-day kinda gal. Although I met my soul mate at the age of 14 and we've been together ever since... We married 5 years ago. Seems to me that you & Remi are already married. You've already made that commitment to each other. That's what counts.<br /><br />~ Clare xSoulful Mamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12191037713466087670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-42991022719343442872012-06-10T12:08:00.352+02:002012-06-10T12:08:00.352+02:00Thank you so, so much Karena--I am very touched by...Thank you so, so much Karena--I am very touched by your lovely comment and kind wishes!!!Heather Robinsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01316279029849503437noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-80453340033008032612012-06-10T12:06:56.102+02:002012-06-10T12:06:56.102+02:00Greet, you are so wonderful!

Just for the record?....I have a brother (whom I happen to get along with quite well) who's a very enthusiastic "born-again Christian". So is his third and current wife. Between these two born-again Christians (she's been married three times herself, at age 40-something) they have 6 marriages and eight children by 4 different spouses. That's a remarkable (at least I think so)lot of marriages and children for two people who belong to a church which thinks that a union such as your and Remi's, or mine and Herve's, poses a "threat to The Sanctity of Marriage".<br /><br />you needn't reply, since I already have a pretty good guess as to what your thoughts will be.<br /><br />Congratulations, again and as ever, to you and Remi.<br /><br />Resignedly (if amusedly),<br /><br />David Terrydavid terryhttp://www.davidterryart.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2498719763759636773.post-53941729357079591362012-06-07T22:23:03.530+02:002012-06-07T22:23:03.530+02:00Hi heather
