We all miss him, but I?m sure he is watching down on us and is very proud and happy for her.? When they stood at the altar earlier straightaway and she spoke those magic words ?I do?, I had stool to reflect that its one of the few times in her life shes hold to do something without question. Dont get me wrong, my missy was wonderful and obedient as a child - with a bit of prompting.As a child she was abounding of life, effervescence, fun and joy and was just so bubbly she made friends with everyone. During her puerile years, both at school and at University, she had a wonderful time, beingness the first person to gain the distinction of getting her degree with no study at all. However she worked hard for her degree, and we congratulate her for it.Then her fake Knight in Shining Armor in the form of the groom came along. I didnt doubt her choice at all, as Victor Hugo once said, Men have sight, women have insight.?Now the groom is a very good actor, but with a somewhat Puckish sense of humor. At first we thought him a little shy, retiring and rather loth(p) to talk with us, but we were victims of... ... bride she is, and the sight of them coming together as much(prenominal) a lovely couple makes the hard work and planning that has gone into this day worthwhile.As I say this, I see that my daughte r has grown up, left home, and is now married.
