all you need is love!

I have just returned from the "most" inspiring experience ~ my father's wedding!
I am in awe of what I witnessed ...
My father has always been my Beacon in life, as Clarence Kelland brilliantly said: "My father didn't tell me how to live; he lived, and let me watch him do it".
He is the person who forever keeps me going, through thick and thin, difficulty and joy, heartbreak and celebration. He has taught me, through his own choices in life, how to be an optimist, how to live honestly and truthfully, even if it knocks your knees out (temporarily) and how to live love.
As one of my new sisters said this weekend: "karma is perfect", thankfully karma brought me into this world as my father's daughter and ... karma brought my dad and Peggy together several years ago. When they married on Saturday in front of their intimate family, we were all instructed to sing "All You Need is Love" at the end of the ceremony. My dad's wedding gave me a new, magical understanding of Lennon-McCartney's masterpiece ~ and ~ his wedding also blessed me with a cherished mother, 3 phenomenal sisters, 3 wonderful brothers in law, 5 nephews and 4 nieces. 
All together, now! All you need is love:
