my little sister
she got married this weekend. my baby sister. the one pictured in this video with me. and i feel as i can just gasp and sleep and wonder where time went, and i can't even say her new last name without tremble.
and i keep picturing my little boy who stumbled down the aisle in his shiny black shoes and his black bowtie and his 13-month-smile, me kneeling in bridesmaid wear begging him forward into arms. in decades future it will be him, wedded, and me, daring to say his wife's name and trusting her to hug him tight enough.
i miss you, blogging friends, and wanted to share this for my mind is bursting with stories of ontario and family and december dry and white...
and right now, i am a winter tree dregging river streams, ice atop all green and frosted. my branches bare, my roots drink deep... i am renewing in this christmas air. and i pray the same for you.
so much heart, from here to yours...

Congratulations on the wedding of your sister. I never had a sister as close as you have, but it sounds like a very close bond indeed.
Awww congrats to your sis. What a special day and ugh you think like me. Always looking forward... thinking of what will be! Love your new look girl. Very classy and simple. Merry Christmas Emily:)
Yes, I pray renewing for you. May joy settle like snow. I miss your posts.
And may God bless your sis and you son!
God's richest blessings of the heart for all of you this Christmas season.
I've missed you, too. And, oh, how can he be big enough to walk down an aisle? Thank you for letting us see your sweet face for a second!

You are two QUITE lovely girls... i love your smiles. may your sister be blessed with much joy in her marriage! and i can just see your little one in his bow tie : )
much love to you and your family... may peace and joy and love and blessings abound to you in the coming year.
Thank you for this rich glimpse of love. I look forward to your postings later. Many blessings to you and your family.
Congratulations! Enjoy that little boy, you will be a grandmother like me before you know it.
Was renting a tux today for my man-child son, remembering when he wore a small tux and shiny shoes (and was so little he couldn't keep the tuxedo pants up above his diaper and they fell down halfway down the aisle).
Sweetness. Joy. Sadness in the swiftness of time. Knowing that God is present in and redeeming it all. Knowing we will all join together in eternal marriage celebration.
Merry Christmas, beautiful friend. Soak it all in.

My daughter has a boyfriend whose name I can't pronounce and they talk of walking down that aisle with God to lead the way. Yes. It's a thought that makes me tremble. And smile. And open up my palms to give it all to God.
Merry Christmas. Grace and peace to you and yours.
