Video of some wedding pictures to the song my mom and Nathan danced to.
With the right medication, mom was feeling better. We began packing for Nate and Amanda's wedding. On Thursday October 11, 2013 we headed to Logan airport to board a plane for Pittsburgh, PA. I can honestly say, I was a little nervous for my mom to fly, I didn't think she would have the energy to walk all the way around the airport. I was obviously proven wrong. Not only did she walk around the airport taking little to no stops, she pulled her luggage as well! We made it to Pittsburgh, and met up with Nate and Amanda. Friday October 12, 2013 was the rehearsal dinner. Everything came together beautifully. Mom made it through the rehearsal dinner as well. She was doing great. You could see the happiness on her face! We also got amazing news that made my mom even more proud of Nathan. HE PASSED HIS BAR EXAM! She was so proud of her son. He worked so hard. Saturday October 13, 2012 WEDDING DAY. Jenna and I headed to Amanda's house to get ready with the Bridal party. Mom rested for most of the day so she would make it through the wedding and the reception after. My cousins helped her get ready and blow dry her hair. When we arrived at the church, I remember stepping out of the limo and seeing my mom. I had tears in my eyes. She looked beautiful! She didn't even look sick! The wedding was beautiful. Amanda looked amazing, the church was gorgeous, and the day was wonderful. At the reception we watched as Amanda and her Dad took to the dance floor for the father daughter dance. Then it was my mom and Nathan's turn. My mom was not into all the attention being on them, but she did it. I do not think there was a dry eye in the place. She looked so happy, and it was such an accomplishment for her to even have the strength to get up there and dance. I will never forget that moment. The joy in my moms eyes as she danced with her son, to one of her many favorite songs. The weekend flew by, and it was time for us to get home. Mom had an appointment with her doctor when we returned home, that would decide on the surgery, but before we got home my mom and I talked about her goals. I remember her saying "I did it, I made it to the wedding!". She most certainly did. Her next goal was to make it to Halloween, but an even bigger goal of hers was to be here for the birth of my cousins first child, and christmas. We were all looking forward to the future because things seemed to be going well for her.
