Sometimes it was because I achieved a goal I had set. Sometimes it was because I overcame a fear or passed a test. However, every time I feel that way, I learn again that full isn’t full.

I could not imagine there would be any more room. Then a few short years later we added one daughter and then another daughter to our family. Again, I had room to love and be loved. See what I mean? Every time I feel that life and love are as good as they can get, they get better. There is a lesson here for us. We ought to always have a heart that is open to expanding.

Caring for families was not his strength. D. Getting married would be his final
