Tonight at Brad and Lauren’s wedding reception I will give them a 7 of Hearts card inside a copy of Significance in Simple Moments. Brad and Lauren are colleagues of mine. I watched them meet, become friends, fall in love, and become a family. I love each of them individually and admire them as a couple. They made a difference in my life by being my friend. They helped me paint my house before I sold it. They save me a seat at happy hours. They ask for my thoughts. They are interested in my life’s story. They smile and hug me when we greet one another. They treat me like I am one of their best buddies.

But I am old enough to be their mother. They make a difference in my life because they respect me for my place ahead of them in life’s journey. They do not cast me aside in an attempt to hurry along on their own way. And I am forever grateful and delighted that our paths have joined for the simple moments that we share.
