I truly enjoyed the heartfelt words that you wrote about your son and his new bride. The photos are wonderful and I can really feel the love that is shown in all of them. (even the one of Daisy). Indeed, letting go means that they grow and your son has certainly grown into a fine young man. I loved your dress, by the way.
