i wish i was a prettier crier

i gave a talk in my church on sunday. i may have cried multiple times while giving it. it didn't help that i had an overwhelming amount of support from my family. my mom, step-dad, sister, nephew, dad, step-mom, and my husband were all in the congregation. i can't tell you how overjoyed i was when i walked in to the chapel to see almost my entire immediate family sitting all together. it especially meant so much to me to have my dad there. one of the ladies that spoke with me said that she watched him while i spoke. she said he was glowing. and that he looked really proud. i loved hearing that.
