Well, just as Debbie and I had predicted 17 years ago, today is a gorgeous day! We were on a hay ride with a youth group when we discussed that October would be a great month to get married. I told her that we should get married the next year. And long story short, we did! Today it has been 16 years since we stood together at the Methodist Church in Camdenton Missouri. In all these years I can only think of one year that the weather was not perfect! I am so glad that it is holding true this year!
You know it is hard to describe the emotions today. Megan has been home sick for the past two days, today we went to the Dr. to find out it is a virus. So I am keeping busy working from home and keeping her comfortable. Like I said it is hard to describe the emotions, probably really nothing I say would make any sense, I can hardly sort them out. But I can say that I am thankful for all the wonderful e-mails of support I have been getting today.
There are so many people missing Debbie, she meant so much to so many. I so often see a picture of her and think of how lucky I was to have been married to such a wonderful person. I know that someday I will get to be with her again in heaven, and until then she lives in my heart as she lives in so many of yours.
Well go outside, take a deep breath of the fall air, say a prayer of thanks for all the gifts in our lives, and remember that God is truly amazing. He keeps me going and I know He is keeping many of you going as well.
Thank you all,
Andy

Andy - I think about you and the kids often and once again cannot make the trip up to be with you and share with you and others our fond memories of Debbie.
May God's mercies comfort you today even when there are no answers to the questions that we ask.

Andy -
the service was very moving. Thank you for allowing us to be a part of the dedication. The bench and tree are truly works of art and are such a fitting tribute. The weather was, as you said, perfect. I pray an ongoing prayer that all the memories can bring smiles, even mixed with the tears, to you, Ryan, and Megan. Love to you all. the Lawrence family
