A Wedding for Amber

A few years back my daughter Amber was a High School Counselor, in a small town High School.  During her time as a counselor she encountered a young woman who her heart went out to and her name was Amber also, the younger Amber had lost both of her parents at a young age and was being raised by her elderly grandmother who was doing the best she could.  On the last day of school my Amber gave this young lady her phone number and told her if she ever needed anything to call her... Well young Amber did make a call one day and needed some assistance.... In doing so she has become a part of our family.  She is generally at each birthday party and at each holiday event that Amber and Dan have.  Amber and her husband Dan have helped to nurture this young lady and show her the love  of Christ, in doing so, she has looked to them for guidance in so many ways.  Amber and Dan have done this while raising their own family.  The two of them  have a heart bigger than you can possibly imagine! In saying all of this the younger Amber has found someone to love and to cherish.  She and Roger got married this past weekend and I attended the wedding.  My son in law gave her away, and my grandchildren were in the wedding.  Best wishes to the two of them for a life full of wedded bliss!













Congratulation Roger and Amber!

  1. What a lovely lovely story and a great tribute to you as the mother that raised "big" Amber. Still wiping my eyes from the joy of reading your tribute.
