Sarah

Last year at this time, another blogger wrote a beautiful post dedicated to me. It meant so much to me that I saved it on my hard drive, and I'm so glad I did now. Sarah is not blogging anymore, and neither is her husband Jacob. They are a beautiful young couple with a gorgeous little daughter, and I'm guessing that they chose to spend less time online and more time with her. I found this the other day while searching for some lesson plans, and I decided to repost it. This is not a big pat on my own back, but a reminder for me not to be so hard on myself.


For blissful Babbling Brooke

This post is for Babbling Brooke. This is not a poem, I don't do those, and it isn't something that should not be taken seriously. She's a wonderful person and deserves all the compliments a person could give to her, especially after all the smiles she brings us.

I don't know Brooke personally I just go to her blog almost everyday, among others, and she either makes me laugh or she makes me want to drive out to Florida and give her a big hug. Her spirit is young, her words are lively, and she always flares you up with humor. She's a woman of great character and is brave enough to be with out someone.

It's hard to believe that a woman who is so talented and so full of life...is single. She has many brothers and I believe that she learned from them never to settle. I believe she knows deep down that the man she will marry some day is going to make ever day special for her, not just holidays. He will cook for her, he will tidy up with out her asking for it, he will tell her she's beautiful every day, and be the joy she deserves. I don't think it's in her blood to settle for someone less than that. I'm sure she's had many suiters and many boyfriends and probably sees right through every single man that has stepped up to her face. As graceful as they try, she is too smart. She is too overwhelming. She is so full of light that even the most amazing man is babbling in front of her. If any gentelman would be as bold as to walk in her direction you better know that only the most loving man, only the most compassionate man, only the man who will cherish her the best will have a chance.

Brooke, I wouldn't doubt for a second if every other man you speak with online has thought more than once about how he could stop his life and head out to meet the challenge of your hand. I don't know you personally, but I know what joy you bring, I know its been awsome getting to know some of your thoughts, jokes, and memories.
And I would bet I'm not the only person who feels this way.

Jacob and I send our love and appreciation for bringing us smiles and fun conversation just about everyday.

Thank you Sarah, wherever you are!!!
