Prayers Answered

Hello Everyone,

Yesterday Chris and I were married in front of our immediate family. The day was truly magical and a dream true for many reasons, but especially because I had the love and presence of my father.  Dad walked me down the aisle, and beamed with joy during every stride. Dad was a true hero yesterday. He was full of energy and pride, smiling from ear from ear as we walked hand in hand. His strength was felt by the entire room, and his will and determination was so beautifully obvious all night long. Mom and dad spoke passionately, talking about their hopes and dreams for Chris and I, while also reflecting on the past and sharing cherished memories. Despite needing the comfort of his wheelchair, Dad did not let that stop us from sharing a dance as father and daughter. We danced to butterfly kisses, which has been our song for 25 years. Yesterday was a wonderful day for the Steffler and Hillen families, proof that dreams really do come true. While Chris and I were surrounded by a small intimate crowd yesterday, we felt the love and support of many. Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. We are over joyed.
