31 Years Ago Today
December 3, 1977
5 months later in June of 1978.
This was at Harrison and Christon's wedding 5 years ago. Harry had been on kidney dialysis for a year. He had his transplant 4 months later.
This is almost 3 years ago at Travis and Jordan's wedding. After kidney transplant. Can you see the big difference?
This is in June of this year at Stone Mountain, GA. a trip with our family.
What a wonderfully blessed and happy life we have had together.

HAPPY 25TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY
HARRY & GIGI'S POEM
(December 3,1977 - 2002)
HARRY & GIGI
We went to meet our daughter's new Beau,
Oh, so many years ago.
Unprepared for what we saw!
Grizzly Adams perhaps --but, Naaw.
Under all the beard and hair,
A handsome prince, for our princess fair.
A diamond in the rough,
A jewel so rare and not so gruff.
Life's had it's way with him,
Cutting off jagged edges
As it polishes the gem.
It didn't happen over night
In fact
Most of the time he's put up a fierce fight.
For his individuality,
And his uncommon personality.
To be himself and not conform
To what others deem the norm.
Wed in just a few months of meeting
Two hearts as one, then were beating.
Working hard their kingdom to build
In accordance with Heavenly Father's will.
Soon came the patter of little feet
To make the family circle complete.
Two fine sons have blessed their home
With unique personalities all their own.
Busy years rearing two active boys,
In a home ever filled with lots of LOVE & noise,
To church and activities they took, --not sent,
Their children, working hard in their intent,
To help them attain the highest of aims.
Of failure they'll never be faulted or blamed.
What more could be a parent's request
Than their children with joy be blessed.
Cherished and loved all their years
As they travel through this veil of tears.
Trusting our girl's choice of eternal mate,
Knowing now, it was Heaven's design, not fate.
God give them the strength to endure all,
Bless their union so they continue to walk tall.
Take them in Thy loving hands
Carry them across the burning sands,
See them safe to the other side,
Let them eternally in Thy love abide.

Gigi Griffis - Dec 3, 2002
What a poem! I sure wasn't blessed with that talent! I'm overwhelmed! It caused a tear or two from both Harry and myself. It's been a great 25 years! If I was writing a play about my life, I couldn't have written a better part for myself. I've been truly blessed with a wonderful husband and a great father for my children. Only complaint that I have is that he has spoiled them rotten. They are the biggest daddy's boys.
I've also been blessed with goodly parents who love the Lord and their children, and each other. What more could I ask for? That my son's would be so blessed!
Thank you mama and daddy. I love you, Gigi
Also thanks to all for your comments and good wishes. (It's a little embarrassing).
And now six years later, we have thought of y'all all week and especially today - your day. Our prayers are continually with you and Harry, y'all bless our lives so very much.
Many Hugs and so much LOVE! mama
Congratulations! December is always a very busy month. Your anniversary, our anniversary, JaLynn' "44th birthday" on Dec. 15th. Brooklyn, Duane, Jessely & Jaxx have Dec. birthdays! I am counting my blessings!! Much love to you & Harry. I spent a lot of time with Clemon & Kathy's family when I was growing up. She was my "confidente."
Hope y'all had a great Anniversary day, sorry I'm late. Yes Ellen that was a Gunny Sax dress. I was the maid of honor!! My very first time in a wedding, I was so honored. Love you sis,
Carla
Hug and love for you both.
