I have had some nice chats with a fellow named Rick Creighton, you may know him How did you meet this guy?

That nice man is my husband! Rick and I met at the Airport in Seattle when his cousin Pr Karl Haffner introduced us. I had arrived with my two boys for a speaking engagement tour, and as a single mum needed someone to help with the boys entertainment while Pr Karl and I were busy with the meetings. After not really noticing his existence for quite some time, when he did make an impression he made a great one! We have just celebrated our 12th anniversary, and I say we because he included all the children in his wedding vows (and they remind him if he ever should be silly enough to forget) and none of them could be closer if they were biologically related. It is in a large part due to Rick that they are as happy, healthy and emotionally balanced as normal young adults, and perhaps more so than most despite what they have been through. I think Rick is Gods bonus to me.

That was good to read about, Lindy. We have this promise from the Lord: "And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten...." (Joel 2:25). He keeps that promise even in this life, as well as in the life to come! You may not see Azaria until the life to come, but it is apparent that the Lord is filling your life with love even now. As for your marriage, clearly the Lord is making up for what you lost by giving you even more.
