What does a picture tell you.. they say a picture is worth a thousand words. Some say priceless. Well picture this. A college student,ex wife & mother of 3 meets an street hustler,ex convict & recovering drug addict. Hard to picture aint it. But as the old saying goes.. what GOD puts together let no man put asunder. Ive watched this marriage blossom.. from an apartment off wesley chapel to a home in stone mountain.. from a four small four door with 4 kids to a mini van(even tho i hated it lol). i watched my mom climb the corporate ladder & my dad work hard as an ex convict, day time job,life guard, VIP suite manager at the dome,prison ministry.. and they did it all while making it seamless to their children. Even in my rebellion & constant verbal discourse.. i paid attention. I watched & marveled at this motion picture. Fast forward i watched my parents become grandparents, i watched my my dad who couldn't make it upstairs after surgery & i watched his wife make a pallet on the floor as he slept on the sofa. Can you picture that. When your young sometimes you just don't get it.. you miss the minor details. You only see what you want to see. But now.. i get it... I see the Big Picture.
Happy 28th Anniversary to my parents
Carl Louis Route Jr. & Kathy Jean Route
may GOD continue to bless you beyond measure & the union that you have worked so hard for..i know sometimes it seems as if we dont get it.. but as a representative of 1 of your 7 children.. WE DO.. I Love You guys
