Renewing our vows on April 28,2012

We are renewing our vows for our 15 year after not having the wedding I wanted in 1997 because we really did not have the money. We have had some rocky years and suffered the lost of our oldest son due to a car accident on March 23, 2011, who was actually my husbands' little Best Man on April 26, 1997 when we first married.

We just want to express our love and devotion for one another because we have been through so much over the years and this past year from March 1, 2010( the day of our sons' accident in which he lay in ICU from a traumatic brain injury until July 2010; then to a rehab until October 2010 to be brought home so that we could care for him) until March 23, 2011 ( when he died in the arms of my husband, my youngest son and myself)was very difficult, heart wrenching and sad for us and our family.

Renewing our vows and recommitting ourselves to one another will be a way to start our life over for the next 15 years God willing.
