Never Let Go

May 29, 2021 was a very hot, humid day at Reverie @ Diamond D in Normangee, Texas. The sun was shining brightly in the blue sky. It was a beautiful day for two to be united.

Tabatha and James would exchange vows surrounded by their family and friends underneath a canopy on a dock over a pond with the sunlight peeking underneath to gently kiss them, as if it was giving them a blessing from above.

Tabatha and James met while working at the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, Ferguson Unit, in Midway, Texas. Eventually they had their first date at Gilberto’s in Fairfield, Texas. They enjoyed getting to know each other as they talked, laughed and listened to each other. Later James would propose on Christmas Day. Tabatha and the kids were opening gifts and when she looked up, James was down on one knee asking her for her hand in marriage.

Tabatha and James compliment each other. They build each other up on a day to day basis. They both have so much respect for the other. They truly admire one another. And they have fun while doing so! Tabatha often speaks encouraging words to James. He says Tabatha grows him like water and dirt grow a plant. Tabatha says that James often uses parables to help her work through challenging situations. Through these parables he tells her to go about solving the problem by looking at it from a different angle. The two know how to support each other when times are good, as well as when times are challenging.

Marriage is like a garden, it takes time to grow but the harvest is rich unto those who patiently and tenderly care for the ground.
