Talk about a sacramental marriage... This is all about marrying a person, a family, a parish, a community, a world.
There is so much to be grateful for... It is all gift. Mark, Erica, Gracie, Boo-boo, my friends and neighbors, my new career - such as it is. All gift. All joy. All. It is also all so unlikely.
And yet - Here. We. Are.






Happy Anniversary Fran! I love how genuinely happy and inspiring you are. Thank you for being you and sharing the love of your life with all of us.

There is nothing quite as nice as a happy bride and groom. Late in life though it came, it's a wondrous miracle and I am so glad it happened to you.
