After loosing my children's father, I put all my concentration on them and the grief. I never thought I would marry again. When I met Brad for the first time after talking online, we couldn't stopped talking and staring at each other. We closed down Chili's that first night. I even canceled my second date that night to be with him and never dated another. The more I talked to him, the more I fell in love. I had never met a man with such compassion, love, respect and patience. Although I knew I loved him after just a few short months, I was still unsure how my children would react to allowing another man in their heart and our lives. It took a lot of love and patience but my children now smile again. His girls are so loving as he is, so it was so easy for me to fall in love with them. We love each others children as our own. I never thought I could fall in love again but here we are two years later. It has been one of the best two years of my life and I can't wait to see what our future holds. Please join us in starting our new journey as Mr. and Mrs. Brad Edgar!

This is a second marriage for us both,

And yet we are the soul mates of our lives.

Sometimes it's a while till love arrives,

Though we may watch it sail along the coast.

Sometimes we fail to understand that pain

Can be a journey to a sunlit shore.

We never know what suffering is for,

Or when we lose, what treasures we might gain.

And so I'm grateful now that I am free

To join my life with yours. I would not change

One moment of my past, or rearrange

The shining chain that brings your love to me.
