Today’s post is a little out of the ordinary. It was on this date in 1991 that Stoney Burke, the father of my two children, passed away. The photo is one that was taken back in 1966 at a business meeting for work – ironically at Bud Smail Lincoln Mercury! Stoney is in the back row, far left. Bud Smail is in the front row, second from the right.
Although our paths took different directions in 1981, he did give me two of the best gifts I could ever imagine. So on this day I will honor the memory of the man that I married, and thank him that Kelly and Nathan have been the best thing that ever happened to me. Now there are grandchildren to fill the quiver with arrows and bring joy and delight!
I might add that the journey of single-parenting helped immeasurably in telling Mary’s story, as I knew the struggles and the joys of raising two young children to adulthood. This is a tribute to all single parents out there – keep going! God will lift you up and sit your feet on a solid rock, and your children will rise up and call you blessed!
